ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-471-31090-7 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 551 Géologie, météorologie, hydrologie générale Résumé : Oceanography has surged forward as a subject for research during the past twenty years, and great progress has been made in our understanding of the structure of the water masses, of the crust of the earth beneath the oceans, and of the processes which are involved in creating these structures. This progress has been particularly rapid in the recent past for two prime reasons. Firstly, techniques of investigation have become available which have made many hitherto intractable problems capable of solution. For example, it has only recently become possible to measure the value of gravity in a surface ship, to determine the deep currents of the oceans by direct methods, or to analyze wave spectra with the detail which modern electronic computers allow. The second reason for the present rapidity of progress lies in the increasing availability of the resources for both theoretical and practical marine investigations; the international character of oceanography and the growing worldwide interest in fundamental research has resulted in the provision of opportunities hitherto impossible.
