At best, process studies near coasts and fronts catch glimpses of important dynamics for a few days or weeks, with hints of much more variability than was captured. Adequate understanding will require observations both more dense and more sustained than anything attempted to date.

Finally, because high-frequency vibrations are endemic to vehicles, especially ones with propulsion, tiny but sensitive accelerometers are needed that can be mounted much closer to the probes than at present to remove vibration signatures. On somewhat larger scales, direct measurements of salinity and density are likely the only way of solving problems posed by "salinity spiking" resulting from mismatches in dynamic responses of temperature and conductivity probes.

Navy a competitive edge? " My conclusion is that it presently offers much less competitive advantage than previously; our results are published in open journals, immediately available over the Internet, and the large number of foreign students and faculty ensure that advances in the art of understanding the ocean are rapidly transmitted abroad.
