Description for Lagrangian Oceanography
Hardback. Series: Physics of Earth and Space Environments. Num Pages: 271 pages, 73 black & white illustrations, 84 colour illustrations, 20 colour tables, biography. BIC Classification: PHDF; RBKC; RN; TQD. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155. .
This book uses the Lagrangian approach, especially useful and convenient for studying large-scale transport and mixing in the ocean, to present a detailed view of ocean circulation. This approach focuses on simulations and on monitoring the trajectories of fluid particles, which are governed by advection equations. The first chapter of the book is devoted to dynamical systems theory methods, which provide the framework, methodology and key concepts for the Lagrangian approach. The book then moves on to an analysis of chaotic mixing and cross-stream transport in idealized models of oceanic meandering currents like the Gulfstream in the Atlantic, the Kuroshio ... Read more
