Articoli correlati a Ocean Circulation: 2nd edition
This second edition retains the general structure of the first edition, but
has been updated in the light of recent oceanographic research, and improved
as a teaching text on the basis of feedback from past students and other
readers.
Notable additions include new sections addressing the topic of
numerical modelling, and more discussion of natural oscillations in the
ocean-atmosphere system (previously confined to the El Nińo phenomenon). In
particular, the Chapter on the North Atlantic now includes a discussion of
the North Atlantic Oscillation, as well as of the Great Salinity Anomaly. In
the final Chapter, treatment of water mass formation has been updated to
reflect recent ideas about the processes involved and how they relate to
climatic change over different time-scales, from decades to millennia.
High quality full colour diagrams
Substantial chapter summaries ideal for revision

Recensione:
...remains an excellent choice for a course that introduces ocean circulation and physical oceanography in an intuitive nonmathematical way. Without much advanced mathematics, the book continues to present the basic dynamics of ocean circulation without getting bogged down in derivations. For those who want a nonmathematical introduction to ocean circulation and physical oceanography, Ocean Circulation continues to be the text of choice - The Bulletin of the American Meteorlogical Society

Descrizione libro Blanda. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: Nuevo. No Aplica (illustratore). 2. Extensively revised and updated for its second edition, Ocean Circulation belongs to a series of textbooks on oceanography. It is designed so that it can be read on its own or studied as part of the Open University undergraduate course, S330 Oceanography. The first two chapters outline the causes of circulation patterns in the atmosphere and oceans, emphasising the ineractions between them. Chapter 3 deals with surface circulation, using a minimum of mathematics. Chapter 4 reviews ideas about ocean circulation, and Chaper 5 describes major current systems at high and low latitudes, including climatic oscilations such as El Nińo. Global fluxes of hear and freshwater, and the formation of sub-surface water masses, are the themes of the final chapter. 900 gr. Libro. Codice articolo 9780750652780LEA88450
