C) OVERVIEW OF TOULOUSE SYMPOSIUM PAPERS, OUTLOOK TO RIO DE JANEIRO 
Authors of the papers presented at the Toulouse Symposium in regard to the wor- 
king group "Oceanography and Coastal Zone" came from Canada (1), France (43, 
Italy (1), Japan (4), Mexico (1), United Kingdom (1), USA (1), USSR (2), and 
the Netherlands (1). 
Nearly all of the papers dealt with passive radiation instruments, 9 in coastal 
zone area, 4 in the open sea, 3 other. 
A working group meeting was held during the first afternoon, with members atten- 
ding voluntarily. About ten attendees were discussing reliability of data, data 
bank (standardization), comparison of parameters, future use of active instru- 
mentation, on board data compression, image processing and their probable impact 
on the oceanographic research from space. 
A special "piggy back" meeting of working group 7 into one of the larger sympo- 
Sia between now and the next general conference in Rio de Janeiro was discussed. 
Topics, date and place of this special workshop will be decided on by the two 
chairman DR ULBRICHT an DR OCHIAI, after careful consideration of possibilities 
and will be made known to the community.
