Chapter 7.550Acknowledgments and PermissionsWe gratefully acknowledge the support and help givenby the following colleagues. D. Bumpus, G. Csanady,C. Mooers, D. Pritchard, and V. Worthington all pro-vided 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. Winantalso proved helpful. B. Butnam, G. Halliwell, and M.Noble supplied the additional unpublished wind-stressdata shown in figure 7.12, and H. Ou and W.-S. Chuangmade the coherence and monthly-mean current com-putations shown for site 2 in figures 7.9 and 7.12, re-spectively. R. Scarlet and New Jersey Public Serviceallowed us to reproduce the current spectrum and co-herence shown for site 1 in figures 7.8 and 7.9. R.Legeckis kindly furnished the satellite infrared photo-graph of the Middle Atlantic Bight shown in figure7.15. D. Haight and A. Sullivan helped with the typingof the manuscript and preparation of the bibliography.We also want to acknowledge the support and encour-agement given us by our friends and families duringthe preparation of this review.This research has been supported through NationalScience Foundation grants OCE-76-01813 and 78-19513 to R.C.B. and OCE-77-22774 to W.C.B., and agrant to W.C.B. from the State of Maryland Power PlantSiting Research Program.Walter Munk.

Chapter 14.In order to get even a brief overview of this rapidlychanging field, I wrote to a number of people involvedin the key developments of the instruments discussedabove. The response was gratifying and overwhelming;I ended up with a tableful of material and personalreminiscences that proved to be fascinating reading andenough for a book, too much for a chapter. Because Ihave space only for a limited number of examples, thelist of instruments discussed is not complete. I thinkthat it does form an interesting record of the activitiesof some of the participants in the important develop-ments in oceanographic instrumentation over the pasttwo decades, and I am grateful to those who responded.Special help was received from J. Dahlen on profilersand TP recorders; J. Garrett, G. Cresswell, J. Stromme,and J. Gillis on drifters; M. Gregg and P. Hacker onmicrostructure profilers; B. Hamon on the history ofthe salinometer and STD (including the early referenceto Nansen); R. Heinmiller on moorings and generalengineering problems; W. Hill on tape recorders andelectronics; P. Niiler on transport floats and instru-mentation in general; T. Rossby on SOFAR floats andthe inverted echo sounder; T. Sanford on electromag-netic profilers; J. Swallow on the development of neu-trally buoyant floats; J. Van Leer on the cyclesonde; R.Wearn on batteries and pressure gauges; D. Webb onelectronics, floats, current meters, and engineering ingeneral; R. Weller on current meters; and S. Williamson the optical profiler.I also received useful information from N. Brown, B.Buck, W.
