Year: 2008 Language: english Author: Henk A. Dijkstra Genre: Textbook Publisher: Springer ISBN: 978-3-540-76375-8 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 408 Description: This text provides an introduction to the theory of the large-scale ocean circulation. There are excellent textbooks on physical oceanography (Pond and Pickard, 1983; OU-staff, 1989; Pickard and Emery, 1990; Tomczak and Godfrey, 1994; Pedlosky, 1996; Knaus, 1997), and geophysical fluid dynamics (Pedlosky, 1987; Cushman-Roisin, 1994; Salmon, 1998; Pedlosky, 2003; Mc Williams, 2006; Vallis, 2006). However, for a typical course where one wants to focus on the ocean circulation only at a challenging level for physics and mathematics students, a combination of material from these books is needed. This text is an attempt into this direction which has resulted in a book on a level between Pond and Pickard (1983) and Pedlosky (1996) with much basic material from Pedlosky (1987).
