Abstract: The program GEOMAS, developed for the SEAMAP pro-

gram of the University of Puerto Rico, calculates

(i) Great circle distance between two oceanographic stations

(ii) The mean latitude between the stations

(iii) The coriolis parameter for the mean latitude

(iv) Geostrophic velocities relative to a depth chosen by the operator

or to the greatest depth common to both stations

(v) Geostrophic volume transports between given depths (by trape-

zoidal interpolation) and the total transport between the surface

and the reference depth. .

A description of the format and manner in which the input depths and

dynamic heights are entered, is contained on comment cards in the

program.
