Description:
Progress in measuring, interpreting,
and understanding oceanic internal
gravity waves and fine and microstructure is
reviewed; we emphasize the quadrennium
1975-1978. The context is how these subjects
contribute to oceanic mixing. The overlap
between the areas is examined, as is the
relevance of the subjects to other aspects of
Present trends and suggestions for future
work are included, and we offer some speculation
on possible progress during the next quadrennium,
which may be substantial especially for
finestructure understanding.
