Data Analysis Methods in Physical Oceanography

A practical reference to established and modern data analysis techniques in earth and ocean sciences. Its five major sections address data acquisition and recording, data processing and presentation, statistical methods and error handling, analysis of spatial data fields, and time series analysis methods.

About the author

Richard E. Thomson is a researcher in coastal and deep-sea physical oceanography within the Ocean Sciences Division. Coastal oceanographic processes on the continental shelf and slope including coastally trapped waves, upwelling and baroclinic instability; hydrothermal venting and the physics of buoyant plumes; linkage between circulation and zooplankton biomass aggregations at hydrothermal venting sites; analysis and modelling of landslide generated tsunamis; paleoclimate using tree ring records and sediment cores from coastal inlets and basins.William (Bill) Emery worked as a professor in Aerospace Engineering Sciences at the University of Colorado from 1987, prior to which he worked in the University of British Columbia where he created a Satellite Oceanography education/research program. He has authored over 220-refereed publications and 4 textbooks in addition to having given 200 conference papers. He is a fellow of: the IEEE (2002), the American Meteorological Society (2010), the American Astronautical Society (2011) and the American Geophysical Union (2012).
