Description for Ocean Circulation Theory
Hardback. Basic questions of physical processes in large-scale dynamics of the oceans are discussed in this book. These large-scale circulations influence the climate of the earth and are of great importance for the future development of our climate system. Num Pages: 456 pages, biography. BIC Classification: RBG; RBKC; RBP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 24. Weight in Grams: 951.
The waters of the earth are gathered in shallow, irregular, interconnecting basins. Heated by the sun and driven by the wind, the oceans circulate endlessly. The general circulation of the ocean is the persistent pattern of this flow on the scale of the basins. It is the heart and soul of physical oceanography, and the explanation and prediction of the flow from the principles of fluid dynamics is the chief goal of the physical oceanographer. Along with the pattern of the motion, the associated fields of pressure, temperature, salinity, and density are also necessary components of a complete theory for ... Read more
