Baroclinic Tides - Theoretical Modeling and Observational Evidence

Klappentext A research-level book on methods used to study the generation and evolution of baroclinic tides, first published in 2005. Zusammenfassung Baroclinic Tides demonstrates the analytical and numerical methods used to study their generation and evolution and! by comparison with experiments and observational data! shows how to distinguish and interpret internal waves. This 2005 book is intended for researchers and graduate students of physical oceanography! geophysical fluid dynamics and hydroacoustics. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. General background; 2.
