Amsterdam: Elsevier Scientific, 1977. — 164 p. — (Elsevier Oceanography, Vol. 18). This book is intended for those graduate and upper-level undergraduate students in technical fields who wish to know something about how sound propagates in the ocean. It is also useful for the practicing engineer and scientist. It is based on the contents of a graduate course taught several...
Amsterdam: Elsevier Science, 1990. — 414 p. — (Elsevier Oceanography, Vol. 51). The point of this book is to bring home to students of the Pacific how that great ocean is transformed in its southernmost part, south of the subtropical convergence and especially south of the Antarctic Convergence or frontal system which lies between 55"s and 60"s. The first chapters, on climate,...
Elsevier Oceanography Series vol. 63 . Elsevier Science, New York, 2000, 380 pp. Our world evolved from and increasingly depends on the waters surrounding us, making an understanding of the ocean critical to the future of this planet. Since their beginning in 1978, satellite measurements have been changing the course of oceanographic research. Oceanography before, and after,...
2nd ed. — New York: Elsevier Science Ltd, 1976. — 231 p. — (Elsevier Oceanography, Vol. 14). — ISBN13: 978-0444414908; ISBN10: 0444414908. As in all branches of oceanography progress in ocean optics is being made at a rapid rate. New techniques have made possible improved accuracy in the observations, and extension of measurements to greater depths in the sea. Today optical...
Amsterdam: Elsevier, 2003. — 614 p. — (Elsevier Oceanography, Vol. 67). — ISBN: 978-0-444-51149-2. It is now established that models are becoming indispensable not only for understanding and predicting the dynamics at work in the coastal system, but also for effective decision making and efficient solutions to complex problems in the coastal environment. Progressively more...
Amsterdam: Elsevier Science, 1984. — 634 p. — (Elsevier Oceanography, Vol. 37). — ISBN13: 978-0444422781; ISBN10: 0444422781. This book is not a manual in the proper sense of the word, as it does not cover the entire field of subjects related directly or indirectly to the preparations for, or the production of, nautical and other marine oriented charts. The author knows there...
Amsterdam: Elsevier, 2007. — 474 p. — (Elsevier Oceanography, Vol. 74). — ISBN: 978-0-444-52952-7. Polynyas are large regions of open water and thin ice that recur from year to year at the same geographic locations in both summer and winter. Winter polynyas are astonishing, in that it seems counter-intuitive that large areas of open water and thin ice can exist under conditions...
Elsevier Oceanography Series, vol. 55 . Elsevier Science, 1992. 449 p. ISBN:0444987517 Within this monograph a comprehensive and systematic knowledge on shallow-water hydrodynamics is presented. A two-dimensional system of shallow-water equations is analyzed, including the mathematical and mechanical backgrounds, the properties of the system and its solution. Also featured is a...
Amsterdam: Elsevier Scientific, 1981. — 400 p. — (Elsevier Oceanography, Vol. 30). The Baltic Sea is neither an ocean nor a lake, but a large brackish-water basin with very pronounced density stratification prevailing the whole year round. In addition to this, its recent geological history has been very complicated, resulting in profound changes in the hydrographic conditions...
Elsevier Oceanography Series, vol. 65 . Elsevier Science, 2001, Pages: 360 Carbon dioxide is the most important greenhouse gas after water vapor in the atmosphere of the earth. More than 98% of the carbon of the atmosphere-ocean system is stored in the oceans as dissolved inorganic carbon. The key for understanding critical processes of the marine carbon cycle is a sound...
