  • Particles in the Coastal Ocean

    Theory and Applications

    by Daniel R. Lynch, David A. Greenberg, Ata Bilgili, Dennis J. McGillicuddy, Jr, James P. Manning, Alfredo L. Aretxabaleta ...
    The coastal ocean comprises the semi-enclosed seas on the continental shelf, including estuaries and extending to the shelf break. This region is the focus of many serious concerns, including coastal inundation by tides, storm surges or sea level change; fisheries and aquaculture management; water quality; harmful algal blooms; planning of facilities (such as power stations); port development and ...

  • Climate and the Oceans

    by Geoffrey K. Vallis ...
    Series series Princeton Primers in Climate
    The oceans exert a vital moderating influence on the Earth's climate system. They provide inertia to the global climate, essentially acting as the pacemaker of climate variability and change, and they provide heat to high latitudes, keeping them habitable. Climate and the Oceans offers a short, self-contained introduction to the subject. This illustrated primer begins by briefly describing the ... Read more

  • Spatial Analysis of Coastal Environments

    by Sarah M. Hamylton ...
    At the convergence of the land and sea, coastal environments are some of the most dynamic and populated places on Earth. This book explains how the many varied forms of spatial analysis, including mapping, monitoring and modelling, can be applied to a range of coastal environments such as estuaries, mangroves, seagrass beds and coral reefs. Presenting empirical geographical approaches to modelling ... Read more

  • Numerical Models of Oceans and Oceanic Processes

    by Lakshmi H. Kantha, Carol Anne Clayson ...
    Series Book 66 - International Geophysics
    Oceans play a pivotal role in our weather and climate. Ocean-borne commerce is vital to our increasingly close-knit global community. Yet we do not fully understand the intricate details of how they function, how they interact with the atmosphere, and what the limits are to their biological productivity and their tolerance to wastes. While satellites are helping us to fill in the gaps, numerical ... Read more

  • Small Scale Processes in Geophysical Fluid Flows

    by Lakshmi H. Kantha, Carol Anne Clayson ...
    Series Book 67 - International Geophysics
    While ocean waves are the most visible example of oceanic mixing processes, this macroscale mixing process represents but one end of the spectrum of mixing processes operating in the ocean. At the scale of a typical phytoplanktoic diatom or larval fish inhabiting these seas, the most important mixing processes occur on the molecular scale - at the scale of turbulence. Physical-biological ... Read more

  • Quasi-Geostrophic Theory of Oceans and Atmosphere

    Topics in the Dynamics and Thermodynamics of the Fluid Earth

    by Fabio Cavallini, Fulvio Crisciani ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Large-scale winds and currents tend to balance Coriolis and pressure gradient forces. The time evolution of these winds and currents is the subject of the quasi-geostrophic theory.Chapter 1 presents concepts and equations of classical inertial fluid mechanics.Chapter 2 deals with the equations of thermodynamics that close the governing equations of the fluids. Then, the motion is reformulated in a ... Read more

  • Precession, Nutation and Wobble of the Earth

    by V. Dehant, P. M. Mathews ...
    Covering both astronomical and geophysical perspectives, this book describes changes in the Earth's orientation, specifically precession and nutation, and how they are observed and computed in terms of tidal forcing and models of the Earth's interior. Following an introduction to key concepts and elementary geodetic theory, the book describes how precise measurements of the Earth's orientation are ... Read more

  • The Near-Surface Layer of the Ocean

    Structure, Dynamics and Applications

    by Alexander Soloviev, Roger Lukas ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    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 ... Read more

  • Fronts, Waves and Vortices in Geophysical Flows

    Edited by Jan-Bert Flor ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Most well known structures in planetary atmospheres and the Earth’s oceans are jets or fronts interacting with vortices on a wide range of scales. The transition from one state to another, such as in unbalanced or adjustment flows, involves the generation of waves as well as the interaction of coherent structures with these waves.This book presents a fluid mechanics perspective to the dynamics of ...
