(BB-90-9) LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SERVICES DIVISION Brief Bibliography OCEAN ENERGY SEPTEMBER 1990 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service National Oceanographic Data Center OCEAN ENERGY Interest in alternative or renewable energy resources increases when the price of oil rises or supplies are threatened. Energy derived from the oceans offers an interesting alternative to the more conventional sources. This brief bibliography provides a selected guide to the literature dealing with energy extraction/conversion systems for ocean applications including: ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC); wave power; and, tidal and current energy. Technical reports cited in this bibliography were selected from the National Technical Information Service Bibliographic Database. The remaining items were selected from the extensive collections of the NOAA Library. Citations are in alphabetical order by author within each system type and a general category.
