Title: Cruise and Data Report of USA-PRC Joint Air-Sea Interaction Studies in the Western Pacific Ocean, 1986-11-15 to 1987-03-05 (NCEI Accession 8700374)
Abstract: This dataset contains no digital representation of data from the USA-PRC Joint Program on Air-Sea Interaction Studies in the Tropical Western Pacific.

This Program is a component of the Protocol on Cooperation in the Field of Marine and Fishery Science and Technology signed by the State Oceanic Administration (SOA), the People's Republic of China and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the United State of America. This Program is also a part of the Tropical Ocean and Global Atmosphere Program (TOGA).

The second cruise of the USA-PRC Joint Program was conducted by R/V Xiangyanghong No.5 of the SOA, PRC from November 15, 1986 through March 5, 1987.

Some of the investigation data are published in the form of "quick look" data set. Owing to the time limitation, part of the data has not been processed under strict quality control.

There are four reports in the 1987 publication:

* Preliminary CTD Data Report
* Nutrient, Chlorophyll a and Primary Production Preliminary Report
* Marine Meteorology Data Report
* Precipitation Data Report
