To past and present members of the Caribbean Coastal Ocean Observing System (CariCOOS) whose collective knowledge I hope to here accurately reflect. To the United States Integrated Ocean Observing System (US IOOS) and its predecessor OCEAN.US, institutions that provided funding and guidance without which CariCOOS would have been impossible. To members of the other ten fellow US IOOS Coastal Ocean Observing Systems who generously provided support, advice, and encouragement in the establishment of CariCOOS.
Preface
This book arises from material initially compiled for a practical graduate field course on oceanographic techniques taught at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez Campus (UPRM), Department of Marine Sciences at La Parguera Puerto Rico over a period of 35 years. Oceanographic techniques encompass practices developed to observe ocean properties and obtain experimental samples, practices which are in large part remote since instrument deployment is performed mostly from vessels at sea.
