		By March 1997 the final cost had not been determined because of a dispute with Wimpey, the main contractor.[1] Although Wimpey have yet to submit an itemised claim against the Natural Environment Research Council (the Council), the total cost of the building could be £69.3 million, some £12.6 million higher than the Council's current estimate.
		We are all the more concerned that the eventual total cost of the Centre could reach £69.3 million, should Wimpey be successful in their claim against the Council (paragraph 10).
		We are concerned that this was not the case in the building of the Centre, and that the reductions in the specification may have resulted in the exclusion of some facilities that it would have been better to retain (paragraph 24).

		Reflecting the growth and expertise in this area of oceanography, Southampton Oceanography Centre is launching the new Laboratory for Satellite Oceanography, 2nd May 2001.
		One of the recent success stories of satellite oceanography has been the detection of waves thousands of kilometres long, invisible to the naked eye but having powerful effects on circulation and climate.
		The Laboratory for Satellite Oceanography researchers have found that these waves also affect the tiny phytoplankton cells suspended in the top layer of the oceans.

		A global air-sea heat and momentum flux climatology has been developed at the Southampton Oceanography Centre (SOC) using fluxes obtained from in situ reports within the Comprehensive Ocean Atmosphere Datset 1a (COADS) collected between 1980 and 1993.
		The primary difference between this data set and others is that the reported meteorological variables used to calculate the fluxes have been corrected for various observational biases using additional information about measurement procedures which have been blended in from the WMO47 list of ships.

		Spurred on by the availability of compact instrumentation and electronic hardware the original IOS SeaSoar vehicles, now owned and run by the Southampton Oceanography Centre, have been significantly modified during the latter half of 2000 and 2001.
		The 'new' vehicles are designed to carry and handle the data from 5 instruments determining a total of at least 8 different parameters simultaneously.
