Issued without a dust jacket. -- This academic textbook offers a concise synthesis of physical processes in the sea, bridging various sub-disciplines of oceanography that are often studied in isolation. It begins with a general introduction to the thermodynamics of ocean waters and the Earth as a thermodynamic system. Extensive chapters cover radiation transfer; the molecular and turbulent exchange of mass, heat, and momentum; and small-scale air-sea interactions. The text explores the propagation of acoustic waves and the penetration of natural light into sea depths, including optical classifications of waters. It concludes with a presentation of basic quantities, equations, formulas, and diagrams, supported by over 570 literature references. The book is as an invaluable resource for postgraduates and scientists, noted for its logical progression from fundamental physical principles to current research problems, making it a standard reference for those in marine engineering and environmental protection. Its primary academic significance lies in showing how physical processes in the sea are inter-related with other natural phenomena, countering the trend of sub-discipline fragmentation. Jerzy Dera, a professor at the Institute of Oceanology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, is highly cited for his work on ocean optics and solar radiation, areas that are central to this volume. -- Contents: 1. General Picture of Physical Processes in the Ocean [Earth as a Thermodynamic System; Forces Inducing the Motion of Water Masses in the Ocean]; 2.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book provides a detailed description of light absorption and absorbents in seawaters with respect to provenance, region of the sea, depth of the occurrence and trophicity. The text is based on a substantial body of contemporary research results taken from the subject literature (over 400 references) and the work of the authors over a period of 30 years. This book takes a fresh, holistic approach to the problems of light absorption and absorbers in seawaters, discussing the fundamentals of light absorption at various depths in seawaters of different trophicity by absorbers of diverse origin. The authors have drawn their information from a substantial body of contemporary research results published in the subject literature (over 700 references) as well as their own work during the last 30 years. No other book presently available examines the issues of light absorption and absorbers in seawaters in such a manner.The book is intended primarily for students, engineers and scientists professionally involved with the marine environment; nevertheless, the authors hope that it will also find favor among all who take an interest in the nature of our Earth, especially the seas and oceans. The components most strongly differentiating the various types of sea/ocean waters from the optical point of view the water itself, the organic and inorganic substances dissolved in it, and the manifold particles suspended in it receive comprehensive treatment. The spectral absorption of light by pure water in its various states of matter and by atoms and ions of sea salt is also given ample coverage. The interaction of light with various kinds of organic molecules is analyzed in detail, as are the light absorption spectra of the principal groups of these substances present in the sea in dissolved form. The physical and chemical properties, as well as the optical constants, of organic and inorganic suspended particulate matter (SPM), are discussed in the context of their relationship to the light absorption properties of SPM. Special emphasis is placed on the role of the phytoplankton and the pigments it contains which are particularly strong and important absorbers of visible light in the sea. The authors are professors of physics with practical experience in the field of marine research going back 35 (BW) and 45 (JD) years. They are also the authors of a large number of research papers and several books, e.g., J. Dera, Marine Physics (Elsevier (The Netherlands) and PWN (Poland)), W. Smekot-Wensierski, B. Wozniak et al. Absorptionseigenschaften des marinen Phytoplanktons [Absorption properties of marine phytoplankton] (GKSS-Forschungszentrum Geesthacht GmbH, Germany).
