It is now well known that the mid-ocean flow is almost everywhere domi- nated by so-called synoptic or meso-scale eddies, rotating about nearly vertical axes and extending throughout the water column. A typical mid- ocean horizontal scale is 100 km and a time scale is 100 days: these meso- scale eddies have swirl speeds of order 10 cm s -1 which are usually con- siderably greater than the long-term average flow. Many types of eddies with somewhat different scales and characteristics have been identified. The existence of such eddies was suspected by navigators more than a century ago and confirmed by the world of C. O'D. Iselin and V. B. Stock- man in the 1930's. Measurements from RIV Aries in 1959/60, using the then newly developed neutrally buoyant floats, indicated the main char- acteristics of the eddies in the deep ocean of the NW Atlantic while a se- ries of Soviet moored current-meter arrays culminated, in POLYGON- 1970, in the explicit mapping of an energetic anticyclonic eddy in the tropical NE Atlantic. In 1973 a large collaborative (mainly U. S., U. K. ) program, MODE-I, produced synoptic charts for an area of the NW At- lantic and confirmed the existence of an open ocean eddy field and es- tablished its characteristics. Meso-scale eddies are now known to be of interest and importance to marine chemists and biologists as well as to physical oceanographers and meteorologists.
