Under the provisions of Section 17 (A) of the Agreement any member state of W.M.O. wishing to become party to the Agreement and Protocol of Execution, for the purpose of participating in GARP Atlantic Tropical Experiment (GATE), is required to notify the Government of the Republic of Senegal accordingly.

The name and address of the Canadian national agency which will act as the designated co-operating agency for purposes of the Agreement is as follows:

The Canadian Government intends to assign the Canadian weathership, CCGS Quadra, to this research project. Quadra, according to present plans, will make use of the Port of Dakar four times during the period of the experiment for refuelling, resupply and rotation of personnel as required. As regards Article 2 of the Protocol of Execution, a provisional listing of Canadian experts who will participate in the experiment GATE has been provided by the Government of Canada through the channels of W.M.O. All individuals who have been thus identified will be based aboard CCGS Quadra except for in-port periods and transit times to and from Dakar.

If the foregoing arrangements are acceptable to the Government of the Republic of Senegal, I have the honour to propose that this Note, which is authentic in English and French, and Your Excellency’s reply shall constitute an Agreement between our two governments recording the fact that, pursuant to Section 17(A) of the Agreement on GARP Atlantic Tropical Experiment (GATE) of June 27, 1973, the said Agreement and related Protocol of Execution of December 28, 1973, shall become applicable to the Government of Canada as a member state of W.M.O. participating in the experiment, with effect from the date of Your Excellency’s note in reply.
