Abstract :
As a benefit of membership, members of the IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society (OES) have electronic access, via IEEE Xplore, to all the proceedings of OES-sponsored conferences (e.g. OCEANS Conferences) and all issues of the IEEE JOURNAL OF OCEANIC ENGINEERING, including preprints available online before they appear in the printed issues. If you are a member of IEEE-OES who does not have an IEEE Web account, please proceed as follows: 1) Verify that your browser is set to accept "cookies." 2) Point your browser to http://www.ieee.org 3) Click on "Set up an IEEEWeb account" (third button down in right-hand column "what do you want to do?"). This takes you to a page where you can create a new account or update an existing one. 4) Point your browser to http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/ and then login with your IEEE Web account username and password. To access material owned by other IEEE societies, you have to be a member of those societies, or subscribe to a "member digital library" that allows you a predetermined number of downloads per month, or subscribe to a more comprehensive package, for example, the IEEE Electronic Library (IEL) at $125k/year.
