ACKNOWLEDGEriENTS 



The author would like to express particular thanks to the EXXON Corpora- 

 tion for allowing us the use of their tankers. Without their generous 

 cooperation this experiment would have been impossible. Special thanks are 

 also due the University of Cape Town Oceanographic Department, particularly 

 J. K. Mallory, E. S. W. Simpson, and L. Wolhuter. Data required for con- 

 structing the wind stress maps were kindly furnished by the late A. Bunker. 

 The author is indebted to Tochiko Turner for considerable help in data 

 analysis and to Linda-Anne Stanley for typing and help in putting this report 

 together. 



Support during the experiment was to the Woods Hole Oceanographic 

 Institution from the Office of Naval Research under contract N00014-14-C- 

 0262, NR-083-004 and N00014-79-C-0071 , NR-083-004. The National Science 

 Foundation furnished support also during the initial stage of the experiment 

 under grant ATM 74-2226 AOl .
