Waves, tides, and shallow-water processes. (2nd ed.)

Abstract

The Volumes in this Series are all presented in the same style and format, and together provide a comprehensive introduction to marine science. Ocean Basins deals with structure and formation of oceanic crust, hydrothermal circulation, and factors affecting sea-level. Seawater considers the seawater solution and leads naturally into Ocean Circulation, which is the 'core' of the Series. It provides a largely non-mathematical treatment of ocean-atmosphere interaction and the dynamics of wind-driven surface current systems, and of density-driven circulation in the deep oceans.
