It all began with Markus Jochum approaching one of us (HvS) - "when
you guys are doing interviews with senior scientists from
oceanography and related sciences, why are you not doing Walter
Munk?" Indeed, why not? Walter Munk, an icon in oceanography, had
just given a wonderful talk in a symposium in honor of his 90th
birthday, sweeping a grand circle from his earliest work with Chip
Cox on airborne measurements of ocean surface roughness to the
latest satellite data - not simply a review, but the struggle of an
active scientist opening up new perspectives - as inspiring and
stimulating as when one of us (KH) rst met him at the Ocean Waves
Conference in Easton in 1961 (Fig. I. 1). Walter immediately agreed
to share with us his recollections on the nearly seventy years of
his path-breaking contributions in a sheer amazing range of topics,
from ocean waves, internal waves, ocean currents, tides, tsunamis,
sea level, microseisms and the rotation of the earth to ocean
acoustic tomography. With "you guys" Markus was referring to HvS
and the various partners HvS had 1 invited to join him in
conducting a series of interviews of retired colleagues.
