Objectives and Brief Narrative of Cruise:
      A seasonal oceanographical observation (physical, chemical and biology) in the East
     China Sea and Philippine Sea.
      Oceanographical and maritime meteorological observations for the uerification of
     buoy sorot observation.
      Main Tasks; The observations were carried out as follows at two fixed ocean station.
       1) General maritime meteorological observation 
       2) Aerological observation
       3) Ocean wave observation
       4) Net flux of radiation and solor radiation observation
       5) Surface temperature and current observation
