Description for The Near-Surface Layer of the Ocean: Structure, Dynamics and Applications (Atmospheric and Oceanographic Sciences Library) Hardcover. In its updated second edition, this book covers new progress in the use of satellites to observe the sea and measure surface salinity and temperatures, new computational fluid dynamic models and monitoring of short surface waves, among other developments. Series: Atmospheric and Oceanographic Sciences Library. Num Pages: 552 pages, 199 black & white illustrations, 71 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PHDF; RBKC; RN. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 38. Weight in Grams: 1113.
The rationale for publishing a second edition of this monograph is that this area of research continues to show remarkable advancement. The new generation of synthetic aperture radar satellites has provided unprecedented spatial resolution of sea surface features. In addition, satellites to measure sea surface salinity have been launched. Computational fluid dynamics models open new opportunities in understanding the processes in the near-surface layer of the ocean and their visibility from space. Passive acoustic methods for monitoring short surface waves have significantly progressed. Of importance for climate research, processes in the near-surface layer of the ocean contribute to errors in ... Read more
