This document shows the sources of the flow statistics compiled by R. Dickson and K. Medler. The flow statistics can be found in lists that are present elsewhere on this disk. To find the originator of a particular line in one of the flowstats lists, go to the left side of that line and note the table number (the leftmost item in the line). Find the same table number here, in the list immediately below, and note the acronym(s) or abbreviation(s) at the right. Then scroll to the bottom of this document, where you will find a second list that contains each acronym or abbreviation and the full name of the organization for which it stands.
(The tables referred to here are tables in a WOCE report that contains these statistics. The report is titled "Flow Statistics from Long-Term Current Meter Moorings". It was originally published in 1990 as World Climate Research Program report WMO/TD - No.337, and was updated in 1998.)
