  • Buoyancy-Driven Flows

    Edited by Claudia Cenedese, Jacques Verron, Eric P. Chassignet ...
    Buoyancy is one of the main forces driving flows on our planet, especially in the oceans and atmosphere. These flows range from buoyant coastal currents to dense overflows in the ocean, and from avalanches to volcanic pyroclastic flows on the Earth's surface. This book brings together contributions by leading world scientists to summarize our present theoretical, observational, experimental and ... Read more

  • 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

  • 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
