Numerical Models of Oceans and Oceanic Processes
Wlth the large number of Important applications In so many areas such as biology, engineering, geochemistry and climate, a wide variety of scientists with diverse backgrounds have become Interested In ocean models. Perhaps the one common factor will be familiarity In the use of computers for solving scientific problems. This book by Kantha and Clayson draws from many sources and an extensive background and experience In modeling to provide an understandable teaching tool and guide for research. It summarizes In an understandable way the present approaches to numerically modeling the ocean circulation.”( KIrk Bryan, Princeton, NJ). Numerical Models of Oceans and Oceanic Processes is a comprehensive resource on ocean modeling. Students and researchers will enjoy Introductory as well as up-to-date discussions of ocean dynamics for mid latitude and high latitude oceans. individual chapters treat barotropic, quasi-geostrophic, layered, level, Isopycnal, sigma-coordinate and coupled models. With detailed chapters on pre- and post-pro-cessing for ocean modeling and handy appendices on scales and wavelet transforms, this volume will serve as a practical reference source for ocean modeling.
