Four years have elapsed since the preparation of the original
Russian version of this book. This is a long time when dealing with
such actively expanding fields of oceanography as research into
small-scale structures and the investigation of hydro physical
processes. Over this period new quick-response devices have been
developed and successfully used for measurements taken in various
ocean areas. Improvements in high-frequency meters used to measure
hydrophysical parameters has enabled workers to obtain more
accurate absolute values of the fluctuations measured by such
devices. In view of this scientific progress, some of the ideas
presented in this book now require additional explanation. Great
care should be used in dealing with the absolute fluctuation values
of hydro physical fields, since the methods used for the
determination of the accuracy of the high-frequency measuring
devices have been imperfect in the past. Never theless, it would
appear that the results of the investigations summarized in this
book have not lost their importance, and that the established laws
governing small-scale pro cesses in the ocean are of a sufficiently
universal nature and, as such, have not been shattered with the
qualitative and quantitative advances in devices used for
measurements taken in oceans. The authors feel that their work is
of interest to English-speaking readers. The appearance of the
English translation of the book is, to a very large extent, due to
the tremendous amount of editing work brilliantly done by Prof. H.
Tennekes."
