was supported by the U S Office of Naval Research under contract N00014 79C0071 NR083 004 I am grateful to R B Montgomery and A B Arons for helpful criticism of an early draft L V Worthington The Water Masses of the World Ocean Some Results of a Fine Scale Census Chapter 2 The painstaking tasks of data reduction quality control and the assignment of world water masses to their myriad fine scale bivariate classes were carried out by C G Day and R L Barbour their work is gratefully acknowledged This research was sponsored by the Office of Naval Research under contracts N00014 74 C0262

National Science Foundation under grant OCE 7719451 is gratefully acknowledged Carl Wunsch and Bruce Warren made helpful comments on the original manuscript Special thanks go to Peter Rhines for a critical review and several discussions about eddy driven flows Ants Leetmaa Julian P McCreary Jr and Dennis W Moore Equatorial Currents Observations and Theory Chapter 6 J P M and D W M wish to acknowledge the Office of Naval Research contract N00014 75 C 0165 and The National Science Foundation grant OCE 7600551 for providing support Robert C Beardsley and William C Boicourt On Estuarine and Continental Shelf Circulation in the Middle Atlantic Bight Chapter 7 550 Acknowledgments and Permissions We gratefully acknowledge the support and help given by the following colleagues D Bumpus G Csanady C Mooers D Pritchard and V Worthington all provided useful feedback on early drafts of this chapter Discussions with J Allen B Butman W Grant D Haidvogel D Mayer J McCullough R Montgomery M Noble G Philander P C Smith and C Winant also proved helpful B Butnam G Halliwell and M Noble supplied the additional unpublished wind stress data shown in figure 7 12 and H Ou and W S Chuang made the coherence and monthly mean current computations shown for site 2 in figures 7 9 and 7 12 respectively R Scarlet and New Jersey Public Service allowed us to reproduce the current spectrum and coherence shown for site 1 in figures 7 8 and 7 9 R Legeckis kindly furnished the satellite infrared photograph of the Middle Atlantic Bight shown in figure 7 15 D Haight and A Sullivan helped with the typing of the manuscript and preparation of the bibliography We also want to acknowledge the support and encouragement given us by our friends and families during the preparation of this review This research has been supported through National Science Foundation grants OCE 76 01813 and 7819513 to R C B and OCE 77 22774 to W C B and a grant to W C B from the State of Maryland Power Plant Siting Research Program enough for a book too much for a chapter Because I have space only for a limited number of examples the list of instruments discussed is not complete I think that it does form an interesting record of the activities of some of the participants in the important developments in oceanographic instrumentation over the past two decades and I am grateful to those who responded Special help was received from J Dahlen on profilers and TP recorders J Garrett G Cresswell J Stromme and J Gillis on drifters M Gregg and P Hacker on microstructure profilers B Hamon on the history of the salinometer and STD including the early reference to Nansen R Heinmiller on moorings and general engineering problems W Hill on tape recorders and electronics P Niiler on transport floats and instrumentation in general T Rossby on SOFAR floats and the inverted echo sounder T Sanford on electromagnetic profilers J Swallow on the development of neutrally buoyant floats J Van Leer on the cyclesonde R Wearn on batteries and pressure gauges D Webb on electronics floats current meters and engineering in general R Weller on current meters and S Williams on the optical profiler I also received useful information from N Brown B Buck W Coburn R Davis V Derr T Ewart J Feeney J Filloux C Gibson D Halpern J Hannon S Hayes J Luyten R Mesecar W Munk W Nowlin T Osborn J Paros S Pond R Pollard J Richardson Walter Munk Internal Waves and Small Scale Processes Chapter 9 My work is supported by the Office of Naval Research Myrl C Hendershott Long Waves and Ocean Tides Chapter 10 I have profited from discussions on tides with Walter Munk Michael Parke and Gerard Stock Annette Pickens has helped me greatly in the preparation of this manuscript Carl Wunsch Low Frequency Variability of the Sea Chapter 11 Supported by the National Science Foundation under grant OCE 78 19833 MODE contribution 125 POLYMODE I am indebted to D E Harrison M Hender shott and W Munk for many useful comments and suggestions and to Charmaine King for computing the many spectra D James Baker Jr Ocean Instruments and Experiment Design Chapter 14 In order to get even a brief overview of this rapidly changing field I wrote to a number of people involved in the key developments of the instruments discussed above The response was gratifying and overwhelming I ended up with a tableful of material and personal reminiscences that proved to be fascinating reading and W Schmitz J D Smith B Taft R Walden M Wimbush and B Zetler Carl Wunsch and Bruce Warren read an early version of the chapter and made a number of helpful suggestions This work was partially supported by the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory of NOAA and partially by a grant from the Office of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration for the International Southern Ocean Studies Program at the University of Washington W S Broecker Geochemical Tracers and Ocean Circulation Chapter 15 Many of the data referred to in this paper were obtained as part of the GEOSECS program The great success of this survey is a tribute to the late Arnold Bainbridge who directed virtually every aspect of
