The acquisition, formatting, and quality control of meteorological data collected on WOCE vessels required the efforts of many people and organizations. We first wish to acknowledge the personnel of WOCE-MET whose efforts made this web site possible. Specifically we thank data analysts we have had through the years: J. Parks Camp, Daniel M. Gilmore, David F. Zierden, Kennard B. Kasper, Jesse Enloe, Lauren Volkmer, Melissa L. Griffin, and Jennifer M. Lovell and our programmers Jiraporn Whalley and Weijuan Shi. We further acknowledge the professional support of Dr. James J. O'Brien, Dr. Mark A. Bourassa, and the remainder of the personnel at the Center for Ocean Atmospheric Prediction Studies (COAPS).

Financial support for WOCE-MET was provided by the National Science Foundation/Physical Oceanography Section. COAPS receives its base funding from the Physical Oceanography Section of the Office of Naval Research.

Gratitude must be given to those who collected and supplied the original data and metadata including, but not limited to: WOCE investigators, Captains and crew members of WOCE vessels, WOCE Hydrographic Project Office (WHOI and Scripps), WOCE Data Information Unit (DIU) at the University of Delaware, and personnel working on the Comprehensive Ocean Atmosphere Data Set (COADS) project. The following table lists the data provider, provider's institute, chief scientists, country (CC), and call sign for each of the WOCE vessels for which data appears on these web pages.
