The fifth of nine volumes prepared by the United Nations examining different aspects of the development of manganese nodule resources. The location of a processing plant for manganese nodules depends more on the availability and cost of complementary inputs (e.g. energy and chemicals) than on the traditional considerations of proximity to the mine or to the market. This volume examines the criteria for selecting a site and assesses a few likely sites of first generation processing plants according to these criteria.

Measurements were made with ,a group of sensors for 37 days at the end of a dock in Vineyard sound. The sensors included: a thermistor in an R. M. Young aspirated air temperature radiation shield, a thermistor in an R. M. Young multiplate shield, wind speed and direction, and solar irradiance. For the last eight days we also included a WHOI built cylindrical radiation shield. For wind speeds above 2m s-1 , the multiplate shield had an RMS error relative to the aspirated shield of 0.2-0.3 c during daylight hours. Adding a correction linear in solar irradiance decreased the error by a factor of one third to one half. The cylindrical shield appears to have performed better than this but there was insufficient data to support this conclusion statistically.
