Sinossi

The sixth edition of the classic physical oceanography textbook has been revised and updated for a new generation of advanced undergraduate and graduate students.

Descriptive Physical Oceanography provides an introduction to the field with an emphasis on large-scale oceanography based mainly on observations. Topics include full treatments of the physical properties of seawater, heat and salt budgets, circulation, water property distributions and instrumentation, and introductions to data analysis, large-scale dynamics, the physical setting, waves, and coastal oceanography.
