technicians, secretaries, ships crews, and many others. In the spirit of a purely personal essay, I would like to particularly acknowledge the work in the earliest days of
Professor Worth Nowlin (Texas A&M) without whom the U.S. contribution to WOCE
would clearly have come to nought, Professor John Woods (now Imperial College)
whose organizational skills were critical in the early years, and Michel Lefebvre for
bringing his infectious enthusiasm and the French POSEIDON project to WOCE.
Many other far-sighted individuals deserve thanks for their sometimes heroic efforts,
but because I am sure to forgot someone, it seems best to simply acknowledge that
the community owes a large debt to many people—who at least know who they are.
Preparation of this essay was supported in part by the National Ocean Partnership
(NOPP) ECCO Consortium funding, an extension of WOCE. I had helpful comments
from M. Jochum, D. J. Baker, and W. Munk.
