Dynamical Oceanography

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on large-scale ocean circulation, this textbook is structured into four comprehensive parts. It begins with an introduction to ocean circulation and the mathematical equations governing ocean flows. The second part delves into mid-latitude wind-driven circulation, employing a top-down model development approach. Subsequent chapters explore equatorial currents and phenomena like El Nino, followed by an examination of planetary-scale flows, including the Antarctic Circumpolar Current and thermohaline circulation. Each chapter features exercises to enhance understanding, with solutions available online.
