Abstract
EVERY THREE YEARS a Committee of
Visitors is formed by the National Science
Foundation (NSF) Advisory Committee
on Geosciences to review the various
aspects of NSF funding in the
Directorate for Geosciences. This year a
Committee of Visitors (subsequently referred
to as the COV) was asked to
provide oversight on the operations of
the Ocean Sciences Research Section
(OSRS) of the Division of Ocean Sciences
at NSF for the period 1992-1994.
Most of the data evaluated were for
FY94. In particular the COV was asked
to evaluate the Biological Oceanography
(BO) Program, the Chemical Oceanography
(CO) Program, the Marine Geology
and Geophysics (MGG) Program, the
Physical Oceanography (PO) Program,
and the Oceanographic Technology and
Interdisciplinary Coordination (OTIC)
Program. The latter is a program formed
since the last COV. In addition to technology
development, it has responsibility
for activities that cut across all four basic
science areas, such as the Coastal Ocean
Processes (COOP) initiative and the Arctic
Systems Science (ARCSS) initiative.
The program also has responsibility for
some national and international community
coordination and planning activities.
