The movement of oceanic water has important consequences for a variety of applications, such as climate change, biological productivity, sealevel change, weather forecasting, and many others. This book addresses the problem of inferring the state of the ocean circulation, understanding it dynamically, and even forecasting it through a quantitative combination of theory and observation. It is intended for use as a graduate level text for students of oceanography and other related...
More DescriptionThe movement of oceanic water has important consequences for a variety of applications, such as climate change, biological productivity, sealevel change, weather forecasting, and many others. This book addresses the problem of inferring the state of the ocean circulation, understanding it dynamically, and even forecasting it through a quantitative combination of theory and observation. It is intended for use as a graduate level text for students of oceanography and other related fields. It will also be of interest to working physical oceanographers.
