Description for The Theory of Large-Scale Ocean Circulation
hardcover. This is a concise but comprehensive introduction to the basic elements of the theory of large-scale ocean circulation for advanced students and researchers. Num Pages: 208 pages, 33 b/w illus. 28 exercises. BIC Classification: PHVJ; RBKC; RBP. Category: (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 257 x 187 x 16. Weight in Grams: 538.
Mounting evidence that human activities are substantially modifying the Earth's climate brings a new imperative to the study of the ocean's large-scale circulation. This textbook provides a concise but comprehensive introduction to the theory of large-scale ocean circulation, as it is currently understood and established. Students and instructors will benefit from the carefully chosen chapter-by-chapter exercises. This advanced textbook is invaluable for graduate students and researchers in the fields of oceanic, atmospheric and climate sciences, and other geophysical scientists, as well as physicists and mathematicians with a quantitative interest in the planetary fluid environment.

Reviews for The Theory of Large-Scale Ocean Circulation
'… provides a very nice deductive derivation of the planetary geostrophic equations using scaling analysis, and is one of the most rigorous treatments that this reviewer has seen … There is also a nice selection of exercises at the end of the book relating to each chapter, varying in degree of difficulty. Speaking as an educator, this is a useful ... Read more
