Description
The book represents all the knowledge we currently have on ocean circulation. It presents an up-to-date summary of the state of the science relating to the role of the oceans in the physical climate system.
The book is structured to guide the reader through the wide range of world ocean circulation experiment (WOCE) science in a consistent way. Cross-references between contributors have been added, and the book has a comprehensive index and unified reference list.
The book is simple to read, at the undergraduate level. It was written by the best scientists in the world who have collaborated to carry out years of experiments to better understand ocean circulation.
- Presents in situ and remote observations with worldwide coverage
- Provides theoretical understanding of processes within the ocean and at its boundaries to other Earth System components
- Allows for simulating ocean and climate processes in the past, present and future using a hierarchy of physical-biogeochemical models
