Objectives and Brief Narrative of Cruise:
     A seasonal oceanographical observation (physical and chemical) in the East China
     Sea and Philippine Sea.
     Observations for the follow objectives were carried out at one fixed ocean station
     in Japan Sea.
     1. Verification of ocean wave forecast.
     2. Improvement of the quality on the sea condition forecast and warning.
     3. Improvement of the quality on the forecast of precipitation in winter in Kyushu
     district.
     The main task of the observations are as follows
     1. Genaral maritime meteorological observation.
     2. Aerological observation.
