It is now well known that the mid-ocean flow is almost everywhere domiÂ{u0BA1}ted by so-called synoptic or meso-scale eddies, rotating about nearly vertical axes and extending throughout the water column. A typical midÂ{u0BE3}ean horizontal scale is 100 km and a time scale is 100 days: these mesoÂ{u0CE3}ale eddies have swirl speeds of order 10 cm s -1 which are usually conÂ{u0CE9}derably greater than the long-term average flow. Many types of eddies with somewhat different scales and characteristics have been identified. The existence of such eddies was suspected by navigators more than a century ago and confirmed by the world of C. O'D. Iselin and V. B. StockÂ{u0B61}n in the 1930's. Measurements from RIV Aries in 1959/60, using the then newly developed neutrally buoyant floats, indicated the main charÂ{u0863}teristics of the eddies in the deep ocean of the NW Atlantic while a seÂ{u0CA9}es of Soviet moored current-meter arrays culminated, in POLYGON- 1970, in the explicit mapping of an energetic anticyclonic eddy in the tropical NE Atlantic.
