ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 



This paper was prepared under DSR Project 53-30200, sponsored 

 by the Ocean Science and Technology Division of the Office of Naval 

 Research through Contract Nonr-3963 (31) with the Massachusetts 

 Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts. 



For their assistance in the engineering program, the following 

 persons merit the Institute's appreciation: 



Feenan Jennings and Worth Nowlin of the Ocean Science and Tech- 

 nology Division at ONR for their steadfast support and encouragement, 

 particularly throughout our most trying experience. 



Prof. Godfrey Savage of the University of New Hampshire; Robert 

 Heinmiller of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution; Dan Clark, 

 president of Scientific Marine, Inc. ; and Walter Whitaker of USN 

 Underwater Sound Lab for their contributions to the design and install- 

 ation concepts. 



LCDR Warren Fischer and other personnel at the ONR Bermuda 

 detachment; William Adams, Charles Trumbull and many others at 

 the Navy Sofar Station; and to George Taggart, his crew, and 

 Margaret Emmot at the Biological Station; for their many efforts, 

 often strenuous, that contributed to the success of the Bermuda oper- 

 ations . 



At MIT, particular credit must be given to Profs. Henry Stommel 

 and Carl Wunsch, Principal Investigator, for their initial concepts 

 and experiment design. Many engineers at the Instrumentation Lab 

 collaborated in the telescope design and exerted great efforts to in- 

 stall it in the ocean. At the risk of dragging this on excessively or 

 of forgetting to mention some deserving individual, I must list Phil 

 Bowditch, Art Grossman, John Lawson, Forbes Little, Ron Morey, 

 Ed Scioli, Frank Siraco, Matti Soikkeli, Jack Suomala, Ken Theriault, 

 Bill Toth, Bill Vachon, Bob Werner, and Peter Wolfe. 



Carl Wunsch contributed Section 2 and Peter Wolfe contributed 

 Section 3.3, Many thanks are due Mrs. Hall for her diligence in 

 typing this paper.
