Titre : Atmosphere-ocean interaction Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Kraus, Eric B., Auteur Mention d'édition : 2e éd. Editeur : Oxford university press Année de publication : 1994 Importance : XXII-362 p. Format : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-506618-0 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 551 Géologie, météorologie, hydrologie générale Résumé : In the present book, the author tried to present a coherent up-to-date account of processes that involve the transfer of energy, matter, and momentum between the atmosphere and the ocean.
In chapter 1, we explain the notation that is being used and recapitulate some of the relevant concepts of fluid dynamics. Though probably familiar too many readers, their presentation here avoids restatements in different places in the text.
Chapter 2 deals with the state of matter near the interface. It follows the text of the first edition, but includes new material and references on sea ice and on bubbles and spray.
Radiation is the topic of chapter 3, which has been significantly revised for the present edition.
Special attention has been given to the determination of the radiation balance at the sea surface by remote sensing.Atmosphere-ocean interaction [texte imprimé] / Kraus, Eric B., Auteur . - 2e éd. . - Oxford university press, 1994 . - XXII-362 p. ; 24 cm.

Titre : Coral reefs of the Indian ocean : their ecology and conservation Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : McClanahan, Tim. R., Auteur Editeur : Oxford university press Année de publication : 2000 Importance : 525 p. Format : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-512596-2 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 577 Ecologie Résumé : Coral reefs are among Earth's most diverse, productive, and beautiful ecosystems, but until recently, their ecology and the means to manage them have been poorly understood and documented. In response to the inadequate information base for coral reefs, this book reviews the ecological and conservation status of coral reefs of the Indian Ocean, bringing together presentations of the region's leading scientists and managers working on coral reefs.
Coral Reefs of the Indian Ocean: Their Ecology and Conservation starts with a general overview of the biogeography of the region and a historical account of attempts to conserve these ecosystems. It goes on to describe the state of the reefs in each of the countries with coral reefs, and it concludes with a series of management case studies.
The book also summarizes most of the existing ecological information on reefs in this region and efforts at management, making it useful for students, teachers, and investigators interested in tropical or marine ecology, conservation biology and management, and environmental sciences.Coral reefs of the Indian ocean : their ecology and conservation [texte imprimé] / McClanahan, Tim.
