V. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



It is a pleasure to acknowledge the cooperation of the U.S. Coast Guard, 

 Captain J . W . Naab, in command of the EASTWIND, his officers and crewmen, 

 who made possible the collection of the data discussed above. When it is con- 

 sidered that the taking of 30 ocean stations added several days to the length of 

 the cruise and to the lateness of arrival in Boston, EASTWIND's home port, and 

 that the ship and crew had already been away from home many months, it is 

 especially gratifying to recall the willingness with which each man assisted in 

 the program to the best of his ability. The author can recall no complaints what- 

 soever about the part the oceanographic program was playing in delaying final 

 anchor time in Boston, and this is an unparalleled situation In his experience.
