RIP ORB
RIP FLIP
RIP FLIP was towed to sea six times
· this year, with Terry Hoopes as officer
in charge. Three chief scientists were
involved with research for the Swell
Experiment, the ATOC experiment,
the ONR MBL experiment, and
testing of an acoustic vertical array.
FLIP time was also spent on sea trials
and training.

CALCOFI PUBLICATIONS
The work of the Californ.ia Cooperative Oceanic
Fisheries Investigations (CaiCOFI), in which
. the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the
California Department of Fish and Game, and
the National Marine Fisheries Service
cooperate, is published in a variety of formats.
Peer-reviewed scientific articles are published
annually in the California Cooperative Oceanic
Fisheries Investigations Reports. Maps of
physical, chemical, climatological, and
biological factors measured by CaiCOFI
researchers during the program's 45-year
history are published irregularly in the
California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries
Investigations Atlas series. Data reports,
containing the processed data from specific
cruises carried out under CaiCOFI sponsorship,
are published irregularly in the SIO reference
series and in the CaiCOFI data report series.
