Fifteen years ago NATO organised a conference entitled 'Ocean
Acoustic Modelling'. Many of its participants were again present at
this variability workshop. One such participant. in concluding his
1975 paper, quoted the following from a 1972 literature survey: '
... history presents a sad lack of communications between
acousticians and oceanographers' Have we done any better in the
last 15 years? We believe so, but only moderately. There is still a
massive underdeveloped potential for acousticians and
oceanographers to make significant progress together. Currently,
the two camps talk together insufficiently even to avoid simple
misun derstandings. such as those in Table 1. Table 1 Ocsanographic
and acoustic jargon (from an idea by Pol/ardi Jargon Oceanographic

on.
