(Proposed): The Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) is the follow-on ocean color
instrument to the Coastal Zone Color Scanner (CZCS), which ceased operations in 1986, after an eight-year
mission. SeaWiFS is expected to be launched in 1994, on the SeaStar satellite, being built by Orbital Sciences
Corporation (OSC). The SeaWiFS Project at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA)
Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), has undertaken the responsibility of documenting all aspects of this
mission, which is critical to the ocean color and marine science communities. This documentation, entitled The
SeaWiFS Technical Report Series, is in the form of NASA Technical Memorandum Number 104566. All
reports published are volumes within the series. This particular volume serves as a reference, or guidebook, to
the previous 17 volumes and consists of 6 sections including: an errata, an addendum (a summary of the
SeaWiFS Working Group Bio-optical Algorithm and Protocols Subgroups Workshops), an index to key words
and phrases, a list of all references cited, and lists of acronyms and symbols used. It is the editors' intention to
publish a cumulative index of this type after every five volumes in the series. Each index will cover the topics
published in all previous editions, that is, each new index will include all of the information contained in the
preceeding indices.
