JAPANPREFACEThe Japan Oceanographic Data Center (JODC) was established in the
Hydrographic Department, Maritime Safety Agency of Japan in 1965 in accordancewith the resolution adopted by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission(IOC) of UNESCO in 1961.
Since its establishment, JODC has been fulfilling the role of the synthetic
marine data bank of Japan, and has been carrying out internationally its services
as the National Oceanographic Data Center under the system of International
Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange (IODE) and also in charge of theResponsible National Oceanographic Data Center (RNODC) for WESTPAC, IGOSS,MARPOLMON and ADCP.
This annual publication, "RNODC Activity Report" is to inform of theactivities of JODC as the aforementioned RNODCs to data contributors, data users,
oceanographic community and other national oceanographic data centers within
the framework of IODE.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation forthe continuing support given by institutes and centers of the IODE System throughtheir sending of data.
Lastly, I would like to inform that the English name of our organization waschanged from the Japanese Maritime Safety Agency (JMSA) to the Japan Coast
Guard (JCG) as of April 2000.
The purpose of this change is to help people gain a better understanding of
the organization’s services, including law enforcement activities. The services
remain the same as before.

2.2 RNODCRNODC-IGOSS (Integrated Global Ocean Services System)
2.2.1 Activities
Major activities is the management of the data for specific geographical areas as RNODC
with the responsibility since the starting of the IGOSS project in 1977.

2.2.2 Data holdings
JODC received BATHY/TESAC data through the GTS (Global Telecommunications
System) from JMA (Japan Meteorological Agency), that is one of SOC, and applied quality
