French Research Ship
An oceanographic research vessel, intended for work in Polynesia and Melanesia, has been built for the French Office for Overseas and Technical Research and is due to be commissioned this month. She is named Coriolis after a nineteenth-century French mathematician. The Coriolis has two laboratories equipped for studying the physics and chemistry of the sea, the dynamics of ocean movements, and the oceanic food-cycle. She will be based on Noumea.
