Abstract
The instruments and techniques for investigation of mesoscale phenomena in the ocean have undergone drastic changes since the early 1960’s. The double impact of new electronics and greatly improved mooring techniques came at the same time as the recognition of the mesoscale as an major factor in the dynamics of the ocean. Baker (1981) has presented a survey of the historical development of instrumentation and methods in the broader context of physical oceanography in general, with an overview of the state of the art in the field.
