MAPCOWS was one of a long series of experiments conducted jointly by Oregon State University and Texas A & M University. It was preceded by several years of experiments in Drake Passage and followed by WOCE component PCM9 (aka MAPKIWI) and WOCE component ICM3 (aka MAPSOON). Almost no one knows about the MAPSOON moniker because one of the participants was dead-set against it. Why?
