Description for Fundamentals of Ocean Climate Models
Hardback. Num Pages: 528 pages, 36 line illus. BIC Classification: RBP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 261 x 175 x 34. Weight in Grams: 1122.
This book sets forth the physical, mathematical, and numerical foundations of computer models used to understand and predict the global ocean climate system. Aimed at students and researchers of ocean and climate science who seek to understand the physical content of ocean model equations and numerical methods for their solution, it is largely general in formulation and employs modern mathematical techniques. It also highlights certain areas of cutting-edge research. Stephen Griffies presents material that spans a broad spectrum of issues critical for modern ocean climate models. Topics are organized into parts consisting of related chapters, with each part largely self-contained. ... Read more
