Abstract
In view of the extreme variety of marine environmental conditions and the important role that seas and oceans play in national economy, China has attached great importance to ocean research and marine environmental observation. For promoting oceanographic research and investigation, the Chinese government has devoted considerable effort to the development of ocean technology and equipment. Particularly, the State Oceanic Administration conducted a national marine environmental observation program in the early 1980’s, an important part of which is the creation of a comprehensive marine environmental observation network consisting of research vessels, data buoys, subsurface mooring systems, submersibles, coastal stations, remote sensing aircraft and satellites. Now, considerable progress has been achieved in the implementation of the program.
