  • 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

  • Earth System Science

    A Very Short Introduction

    by Tim Lenton ...
    Series series Very Short Introductions
    When humanity first glimpsed planet Earth from space, the unity of the system that supports humankind entered the popular consciousness. The concept of the Earth's atmosphere, biosphere, oceans, soil, and rocks operating as a closely interacting system has rapidly gained ground in science. This new field, involving geographers, geologists, biologists, oceanographers, and atmospheric physicists, is ... Read more

  • Ocean Biogeochemistry

    The Role of the Ocean Carbon Cycle in Global Change

    Edited by Michael J.R. Fasham ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Oceans account for 50% of the anthropogenic CO2 released into the atmosphere. During the past 15 years an international programme, the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS), has been studying the ocean carbon cycle to quantify and model the biological and physical processes whereby CO2 is pumped from the ocean's surface to the depths of the ocean, where it can remain for hundreds of years. This ... Read more

  • Tropical Meteorology

    An Introduction

    by T.N. Krishnamurti, Lydia Stefanova, Vasubandhu Misra ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book is designed as an introductory course in Tropical Meteorology for the graduate or advanced level undergraduate student. The material within can be covered in a one-semester course program. The text starts from the global scale-view of the Tropics, addressing the zonally symmetric and asymmetric features of the tropical circulation. It then goes on to progressively smaller spatial and ... 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

  • The Global Thermohaline Paleocirculation

    by Elena Ivanova ...
    Originally published in Russian in 2006, this is the first English translation of this important book on paleoceanography and paleoclimatology. Its initial publication was followed by a surge of interest in this subject prompting the author to revise and translate her original work. In the book, she successfully summarizes her own research over recent years and compiles an overview of up-to-date ... 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

  • Physical Oceanography of the Adriatic Sea

    Past, Present and Future

    Edited by Benoit Cushman-Roisin, Miroslav Gacic, Pierre-Marie Poulain, Antonio Artegiani ...
    Because of its centrallocation in the Old World, the Adriatic Sea has long been explored and studied. Modern methods of investigation, however, have accelerated the pace of study during the last decade. These are the ADCP currentmeter, satellite imagery, drifter technology, and, last but not least, the computer with its arsenal of tools for data analysis and model simulations. As a result of this ... 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

  • Computer Modelling in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences

    Building Knowledge

    by Peter K. Müller ...
    Computer modeling pervades today all fields of science. For the study of com plex systems, such as the environment, it has become an indispensable tool. But it is also a tool that is often misunderstood and misinterpreted. These dangers are particularly pronounced in the environmental sciences, an area of interest and concern not only to scientists, but also to the general public, the media, ... Read more
