Title: Cruise and Data Report of USA-PRC Joint Air-Sea Interaction Studies in the Western Pacific Ocean
Abstract: The USA-PRC Joint Program on Air-Sea Interaction Studies in the Tropical Western Pacific 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 the R/V Xiangyanghong No.5 of the SOA, PRC from November 15, 1968 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.
