Format : 26 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-84969-2 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 551 Géologie, météorologie, hydrologie générale Résumé : Fluid dynamics is fundamental to our understanding of the atmosphere and oceans. Although many of the same principles of fluid dynamics apply to both the atmosphere and oceans, textbooks on the topic have tended to concentrate on either the atmosphere or the ocean, or on the theory of geophysical fluid dynamics (GFD). However, there is much to be said for a unified discussion, and this major new textbook provides a comprehensive, coherent treatment of all these topics, it is based on course notes that the author has developed over a number of years at Princeton and the university of California. Atmospheric and oceanic Fluid Dynamics will prove to be an invaluable graduate textbook on courses in GFD, meteorology, atmospheric science and oceanography, and will also be an excellent review volume for researchers.

Climate and the oceans / Vallis, Geoffrey K.

Public ISBD Faire une suggestion d'achat Titre : Climate and the oceans Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Vallis, Geoffrey K., Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Importance : X-231 p. Format : 21 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-691-14467-2 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 551 Géologie, météorologie, hydrologie générale Résumé : This is a book on climate, with an emphasis on the role of the ocean. The emphasis is on large-scale processes and phenomena, and on the physical aspects of the ocean rather than its chemical or biological properties. It is not a textbook on physical oceanography, of which there are several good ones, nor is it a textbook on climate, of which there are some good ones. Rather, and as its size may indicate, the book is an introduction to, or a primer on, the ocean-climate system. This book could be used to provide an introductory "big picture" for more advanced students or for scientists in other fields, or it could provide advanced reading for undergraduate students taking courses at a more elementary level. The book is somewhat more mechanistic; than most books at this level: the emphasis is on how things work, and in particular how the ocean works and how it influences climate. It discuss observations to motivate the discussion, but the main emphasis is not on what things happen to be, but why and how they happen to be.
