We are grateful to Vera Hebert and to Beverly O'Donnell for assistance in preparations for the workshop, and for helping all the participants with their travel needs and attending to many other logistical details. Craig Anderson helped with the editing process, which involved converting all of the individual manuscripts and styles to a uniform standard. We also thank Klaus Wolter and Scott Woodruff for careful reviews of the final volume of manuscripts.
The workshop was generously suppported by the Institut für Meereskunde of the University of Kiel, Germany, through a grant from the German Research Foundation project titled "Warmwatersphere of the Atlantic Ocean," and by a grant from the NOAA Office of Global Programs. The editors gratefully acknowledge their continuing support.
