Articles liés à Ocean Circulation.: 2nd edition
Synopsis
Extensively revised and updated for its second edition, this Volume belongs to a series on oceanography. It is designed so that it can be read on its own or studied as part of the Open University third-level course, S330 Oceanography. The first two Chapters outline the causes of circulation patterns in the atmosphere and oceans, emphasizing the interactions between them. Chapter 3 deals with surface circulation (including mesoscale eddies), using a minimum of mathematics. Chapter 4 reviews ideas about ocean circulation (with special reference to the North Atlantic gyre), and Chapter 5 describes major current systems at high and low latitudes, including climatic oscillations such as El Niño. Global fluxes of heat and freshwater, and the formation of sub-surface water masses, are the themes of the final Chapter.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This second edition retains the general structure of the first edition, but
has been updated in the light of recent oceanographic research, and improved
as a teaching text on the basis of feedback from past students and other
readers.
Notable additions include new sections addressing the topic of
numerical modelling, and more discussion of natural oscillations in the
ocean-atmosphere system (previously confined to the El Niño phenomenon). In
particular, the Chapter on the North Atlantic now includes a discussion of
the North Atlantic Oscillation, as well as of the Great Salinity Anomaly. In
the final Chapter, treatment of water mass formation has been updated to
reflect recent ideas about the processes involved and how they relate to
climatic change over different time-scales, from decades to millennia.

Revue de presse
...remains an excellent choice for a course that introduces ocean circulation and physical oceanography in an intuitive nonmathematical way. Without much advanced mathematics, the book continues to present the basic dynamics of ocean circulation without getting bogged down in derivations. For those who want a nonmathematical introduction to ocean circulation and physical oceanography, Ocean Circulation continues to be the text of choice - The Bulletin of the American Meteorlogical Society
