Scientists from Japan, Canada, and the United States combined their facilities to make a great synoptic oceanographic survey of the North Pacific Ocean in 1955. The survey provided background knowledge of hydrography for studies of fisheries problems. Twenty oceanographic vessels, including SPENCER F. BAIRD, HORIZON and STRANGER occupied one thousand oceanographic stations. This expedition demonstrated the success of international cooperation in oceanography.
