- I express my thanks to A.W.H. Bé, W.H. Hutson, N.
Kipp, W. Prell, and other CLIMAP Project Members for their extraordinary
microfossil data. The maintenance of CLIMAP and Levitus (1982)
data by the NGDC was an additional prerequisite to make this
atlas possible. Reviews by two anonymous colleagues are cordially
acknowledged and helped to improve the present atlas. I thank
H.R. Thierstein for continuous discussion and support. This work
was funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF).
