Book Description
Excerpt from Oceanography for Meteorologists Up to the present time, no adequate book has existed from which a meteorologist could readily obtain information as to findings in physical oceanography that have bearing upon problems of the atmosphere. Nor has any text been available that, besides describing the methods used in physical oceanography, also contained a summary of our present knowl edge of the current systems of the oceans and of the processes that main tain the currents. It is to fill these needs that this book has been written. The processes Of the sea surface are of the most direct meteorological significance. Consequently, the temperature, the salinity, the currents of the upper layers of the oceans, and the factors that control the existing conditions are the features which have been emphasized. Since these cannot be fully understood without taking the subsurface conditions into account, the deep-water circulation of the oceans has also been discussed. The theories of the large-scale ocean currents and of the wind-driven currents have been included, because in oceanography the application of hydrodynamics is of fundamental importance and because the treat ment is similar to that of corresponding problems in the atmosphere. Tides and tidal currents have not been discussed, because the tides have not been shown to be of meteorological significance. Similarly, internal waves in the oceans have not been dealt with, but wind waves have been included. The theoretical discussion of the dynamics of the ocean currents and the factual information from many ocean areas are as yet incomplete, and therefore it may be premature to generalize. Nevertheless, it has been attempted to overcome difficulties arising from differences in interpreta tion of incomplete data by placing emphasis on application of the equation of continuity in the description of the ocean circulation. N 0 references to original papers are given, but several standard works are listed, some of which contain numerous references to meteorological and oceanographic literature.

Data, Models and Analysis
Author: Guoqi HanPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 135169121X
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
This volume contains the ten most cited articles that have appeared in the journal Atmosphere-Ocean since 1995. These articles cover a wide range of topics in meteorology, climatology and oceanography. Modelling work is represented in five papers, covering global climate model development; a cumulus parameterization scheme for global climate models; development of a regional forecast modelling system and parameterization of peatland hydraulic processes for climate models. Data rehabilitation and compilation in order to support trend analysis work on comprehensive precipitation and temperature data sets is presented in four papers. Field studies are represented by a paper on the circumpolar lead system. While the modelling studies are global in their application and applicability, the data analysis and field study papers cover environments that are specifically, but not uniquely, Canadian. This book will be of interest to researchers, students and professionals in the various sub-fields of meteorology, oceanography and climate science.
50 Years of Ocean Discovery

Pages : 283
Book Description
This book describes the development of ocean sciences over the past 50 years, highlighting the contributions of the National Science Foundation (NSF) to the field's progress. Many of the individuals who participated in the exciting discoveries in biological oceanography, chemical oceanography, physical oceanography, and marine geology and geophysics describe in the book how the discoveries were made possible by combinations of insightful individuals, new technology, and in some cases, serendipity. In addition to describing the advance of ocean science, the book examines the institutional structures and technology that made the advances possible and presents visions of the field's future. This book is the first-ever documentation of the history of NSF's Division of Ocean Sciences, how the structure of the division evolved to its present form, and the individuals who have been responsible for ocean sciences at NSF as "rotators" and career staff over the past 50 years.
