The efforts of the captain (the late Prof. Yasutaka Yuwaki), crew and cadets of the T/V Keiten-maru, Faculty of Fisheries, Kagoshima University, were essential to the success of the URI IES deployment and recovery operations. Captain and crew of the S/V Shoyo were likewise helpful in the MSA/HD IES deployent and recovery operations. The repeated hydrography data on the ASUKA line were provided by members of the ASUKA Group, including M. Fukasawa, K. Hayashi, T. Hinata, H. Ichikawa, S. Imawaki, A. Kaneko, H. Kinoshita, K. Kutsuwada, K. Mimoto, A. Misumi, I. Nakano, K. Okuda, T. Saito, Y. Sekine, T. Shiga, T. Utsunomiya, H. Yoritaka and N. Yoshioka. Moored-current-meter data on the ASUKA line were provided by M. Fukasawa, H. Ichikawa and S. Imawaki. A part of the ASUKA study was supported by the International Cooperative Research Program of the Global Ocean Observing System (program leader: Keisuke Taira) sponsored by the Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture, Japan.
D. Randolph Watts provided much useful advice and gave us access to many of the facilities and capabilities of his group. Michael Mulroney was responsible for the preparation, deployment and recovery of the URI IES's. Karen Tracey helped with the data processing. Kathleen Donohue helped make this presentation web-accessible. The work of Mark Wimbush and Jeff Book was supported by the Office of Naval Research through grant N000149410023.
