Introductory Dynamical Oceanography
Author: Stephen PondPublisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080570542
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
'Introductory Dynamical Oceanography' 2nd ed provides an introduction to Dynamical Physical Oceanography at a level suitable for senior year undergraduate students in the sciences and for graduate students entering oceanography. It aims to present the basic objectives, procedures and successes and to state some of the present limitations of dynamical oceanography and its relations to descriptive physical oceanography. The first edition has been thoroughly revised and updated and the new work includes reference to the Practical Salinity Scale 1978, the International Equation of State 1980 and the beta-spiral technique for calculating absolute currents from the density distribution. In addition the description of mixed-layer models has been updated and the chapters on Waves and on Tides have been substantially revised and enlarged, with emphasis on internal waves in the Waves chapter. While the text is self-contained readers are recommended to acquaint themselves with the general aspects of descriptive (synoptic) oceanography in order to be aware of the character of the ocean which the dynamical oceanographer is attempting to explain by referring to Pickard and Emery's 'Descriptive Physical Oceanography' 4th edition.

Heat Absorption and Heat Budget at Ocean Station Echo, September 1959

Category : Heat

Pages : 44
Book Description
Between 2 and 21 September 1959, approximately 900 bathythermograph observations (BT's) were obtained at Ocean Weather Station ECHO (35 deg N, 48 deg W). In addition, incoming radiation from sun and sky and reflected radiation from the sea surface were recorded. By grouping the BT data according to cloud amount, mean hourly temperatures were obtained. Estimates of heat absorption, evaporation and changes in horizontal heat content (advection) for clear, partly cloudy, and cloudy skies were derived from these mean temperatures. The ocean was assumed to be neither gaining nor losing heat during this season of the year. For clear skies, evaporative heat loss exceeded long wave (back radiation) heat loss; for cloudy skies, condensation resulted in a net gain of heat. Hourly mean temperatures and temperature gradients are presented. Surface temperature was changed about 0.1 deg F by evaporative heat flux and a comparable amount by horizontal heat flux. (Author).
