The Transcom 3 experiment was made possible through support from the NSF (OCE-9900310), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NA67RJ0152, Amend 30), and the International Geosphere Biosphere Program/Global Analysis, Interpretation, and Modeling Project. The Zotino measurements are supported by the European Union through the TCOS-Siberia contract (EVK2-CT-2001-00131) within the Fifth Framework Program. The Bass Strait/Cape Grim aircraft sampling program was supported by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (1992-98), and the CSIRO Office of Space Science and Applications (1999-2000).
