The DTIC collection currently contains two million records and is updated continually. Universities, US government agencies and associated contractors, subcontractors, and grantees are eligible for most DTIC services. In addition, research and development organization without current contracts may become eligible for service by obtaining a military service authorization under the defense potential contractors programs. If you are registered user for DTIC services, you can obtain direct online access to the DTIC system, have searches and printouts done free of charge, and purchase DTIC documents for a minimal fee - generally $1.50 to $3.00. If you are not DTIC-eligible, you can contact the National Technical Information Service (NTIS) to obtain a limited search of DTIC's Technical Reports Program data base. NTIS charges for its services. * Navy Corrected Geostrophic Wind Data for the Gulf of Mexico, Wind Stress Subset (PB88-129432/XDD) (See NTIS above) The Navy Corrected Geostrophic Winds are the results of a Navy effort to obtain a Gulf of Mexico wind field with the proper temporal and spatial resolution necessary to resolve the highly variable Gulf wind field. The report that documents the techniques used and results obtained is a NORDA Technical Note titled Navy Corrected Geostrophic Wind Set for the Gulf of Mexico, NORDA, NSTL Station, Mississippi, 39529. The wind stresses were calculated from the Navy corrected geostrophic wind data set using constant atmospheric density and a drag coefficient equal to .0013. The delivered data set consists of 17 files (blocksize 2400 and record length 80) on 3 tapes. The first file on the first tape contains an internally documented Fortran 77 program for reading any of the other 16 files. All other files contain the geostrophic wind data on a 1 degree grid with each file corresponding to one years worth of data from 1967-1982. * Stock Number User Directory (SNUD) Master File (PB88 234943/XDD) (See NTIS above) The stock number user directory (SNUD) file is a tailored product used primarily by Air Force activities as a research tool to assist in locating retail lateral support. SNUD consists of all stock numbers (SNs), for which participating activities have established user interest. The type of Stock Numbers available are National Stock Numbers (NSNs), Kit (K), Non-cataloged (NC) or Non Designated (ND) numbers. Activities are identified by a Stock Record Account Number (SRAN) or an assigned user account. * World Data Bank 1 (PB-223-178/5/XDD) (See NTIS above) World Data Bank 1 (Wdb 1) is a digital representation of the coastlines and boundaries of the world for use in automated mapping systems. The first two files consist of 100k individual coordinate points arranged sequentially to describe each linear feature. The third field is an index to the linear features in Wdb 1. This data bank can be use independently or in conjunction with the Cam program, PB-238 358/6 (documentation) and PB-238 357/8 (tape), which will output this data in 16 different map projections.
