Modern Observational Physical Oceanograpy : Understanding The Global Ocean
Hardback Edition: 1
Written by a leading physical oceanographer, Modern Observational Physical Oceanography explains what the observational revolution of the past twenty-five years has taught us about the real, changing fluid ocean. Unlike any other book, it provides a broad and accessible treatment of the subject, covering everything from modern methods of observation and data analysis to the fluid dynamics and modeling of ocean processes and variability.
Fully illustrated in color throughout, the book describes the fundamental concepts that are needed before delving into more advanced topics, including internal-inertial waves, tides, balanced motions, and large-scale circulation physics. Provides an accessible introduction to modern physical oceanography. Written by a leading physical oceanographer. Emphasizes real observations of the fluid ocean. Features hundreds of color illustrations. An online illustration package is available to professors.
