The sample FORTRAN program read_wghc_climatology.f reads in gridded profiles. The 
program requests a single latitude and longitude of the grid node from the user and returns 
gridded properties at standard levels written to the screen. The user should modify the 
program according to specific needs.

Our thanks go to many WOCE principal investigators who provided us with their 
hydrographic data. Discussions on the hydrostatic stability of the gridded data with Dr. D. 
Jackett were very helpful. Dr. R. Mamedov has generously provided Caspian Sea 
hydrographic data. V.V. Gouretski was supported through the grants 03F0378A and
