An oceanographic data base established at SACLANTCEN on an 'in-house' UNIVAC 1106 computer system is described. Volume I discusses the design criteria used in setting up the data base, lists its structure and content, and explains how acquired data, either from outside institutions or from SACLANTCEN experiments are re-formatted and entered. Volume II describes how data are accessed, interrogated, and displayed, including the plotting of charts with coastlines and of contoured data. (Author) See also Volume 1, AD-A103 277
