Acknowledgments

We thank the captain and crew of the NOAA Ship RUDE who provided shipboard support and without those concentrated team effort none of these products would have been possible. We also thank the U.S. Geological Survey, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection who provided the financial support for this project. Photographs of the RUDE were acquired from ship's Web site. This report assembled in html by Donna Newman and has benefited from critical reviews by Rich Signell, Bill Waite, and Jim Robb (all USGS).
