            OCEANIC, the Ocean Network Information Center primarily sup-
            ports the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) research
            program. Examples of OCEANIC content are:

            -    WOCE program information

                 o+    summaries of research projects  with  emphasis  on
                      data collection.

                 o+    WOCE Field Program plans, resources and maps.

                 o+    WOCE administrative information.

            -    Directories of oceanographic datasets:

                 o+    holdings of major data centers.

                 o+    directories of datasets  of  special  interest  to
                      WOCE.

            -    A WOCE data-tracking system:

                 o+    datasets planned, being collected, being analyzed,
                      and in data centers.

            -    A library of data products.

            OCEANIC also includes:

                 -    A searchable directory of oceanographers on Inter-
                      net,  SPAN,  Telemail (Omnet and Kosmos), and Bit-
                      net.

                 -    A searchable international oceanographic  research
                      ship schedules.

            OCEANIC  is  self-explanatory   and   menu-driven.    Though
            intended  to  work  with simple terminals, to view graphical
            material, you must use a terminal- emulation program  compa-
            tible with the Tektronix 4010 standard.

            _N_e_t_w_o_r_k _A_c_c_e_s_s:

            INTERNET:  telnet to host delocn.udel.edu (128.175.24.1) and
            login with username INFO.  No password is required.

            SPAN: use SET HOST DELOCN, and login with username INFO.  No
            password is required.

            TELEMAIL/ OMNET (Domestic USA): Use command GOTO SONIC.

            Users in Alaska should  use  Telenet/Omnet  network  address
            909014 and follow the instructions above.

            INTERNATIONAL DIRECT: The preferred method is via the inter-
            national packet-switched network address:

              311030200612   - if your national system  requires  a  12-
              digit address
              31103020061200 - if your national system  requires  a  14-
              digit address

            Some national systems require two zeroes  in  front  of  the
            address.  You may need to experiment.

            You will connect  directly  into  OCEANIC.  No  password  is
            required.

            INTERNATIONAL   TELEMAIL/Omnet:   You   may   connect    via
            Telemail/Omnet at one of these addresses:

              311090900003   - if your local network requires a 12-digit
              address

              31109090000300 - if your local network requires a 14-digit
              address


            (NOTE: Users in Canada should use  Datapac  network  address
            1311090900014.)

            You will get  a  Telenet  "@"  prompt  after  entering  this
            address.
