The Oceans by Svedrup, Johnson, and Fleming has been a classic reference for marine scientists across a broad range of disciplines since it was first published in 1942. Even today, much of this content is still relevant. What was summarized without using current technologies—remote sensing, telemetry, or modern deep-sea drilling—is remarkable. We provide a facsimile copy for the use of scientists and students of marine science. Compare what was known sixty years ago with modern data and concepts.
