Underwater scientists use sound as the premier tool to determine the detailed characteristics of physical and biological bodies and processes at sea. This is a comprehensive and accessible textbook on ocean acoustics and acoustical oceanography. Chapters 1-9 provide the basic tools of ocean acoustics. The following fifteen chapters are written by many of the world's most successful ocean resear…
The time-varying aspect of the ocean makes descriptive oceanography a four-dimensional problem, with spatial scales from 10'7 to 10'-3 m and energy cascading down over ten orders of magnitude. In-situ sensing alone is ultimately unable to provide a sufficient description. The ocean is fundamentally opaque to electromagnetic radiation, but this limitation on information transfer is largely commp…
The purpose of the third edition, like that of the second, is to present new ideas, facts and concepts that have emerged in recent years. At the same time some older and userful material has been added as deemed appropriate by the use of the book in course teaching. The question of metric units has been given much consideration. Although scientists and engineers today use metric units universal…
Hydrodynamics is the science which deals With the motion of liguid in the macroscopic sense. It is essentially a field which is regarded as applied mathematics because i deals with the mathematical treatments of basic eguationg for a fluid continuum obtained on a purely Newtonian basis. It is also the foundation of hydraulics, Which, as an art, has to compromise with the rigorous mathematicay t…
Akustik bawah air banyak digunakan dalam rekayasa kelautan, pemetaan dasar laut, pertahanan, navigasi, dan fiseries, dan merupakan salah satu teknologi utama yang digunakan dalam eksplorasi dan eksploitasi lautan. Buku ini memberikan pengantar yang mudah diakses dan terkini tentang subjek. Cakupan meliputi : Proses fisik dan pemodelan dasarnya; Deskripsi dan penilaian berbagai teknologi; Siste…
Hidrologi sebagai ilmu pengetahuan semakin berkembang di Indonesia, sejalan dengan semakin berkembangnya pembangunan proyek-proyek pengembangan sumber air seperti misalnya pengendalian banjir, pengendalian sedimentasi dan erosi, penyediaan air irigasi, penyediaan air bersih, pembangkit tenaga listrik tenaga air dann sebagainya, lebih-lebih setelah semakin bertambahnya penggunaan model matematik…
The main aim of Lines in The Sea has been to give a graphical representation of those provisions of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea that can be reproduced on maps.
Buku ini menjelaskan mengenai Gelombang Acak, Gelombang Acak merupakan konstituen paling penting dari lingkungan laut, karena mereka membuat desain struktur maritim sangat berbeda dari struktur di darat. Dalam buku ini, konsep gelombang acak untuk desain pemecah gelombang, dinding laut, dan struktur pelabuhan sepenuhnya dieksplorasi untuk pemahaman yang mudah dengan berlatih insinyur. Aspek teo…
In the eight years sine the publication of the first edition, there has been tremendous increase in the use of mathematical models in environmental engineering, especially for the control of pollution in rivers and estuaries. Modelling has also addressed a much wider range of pollutants and there has been an increase in the range of conceptual approaches to the formulation of models. The text o…
In february 1965, ambient noise wias measured at a depth of 250 feet in 3400 feet of water near Andros Island, Tongue of the ocean, utilizing a buoyed self recording instrument. The instrument measured and recorded on photographic film noise levels over a one octave hand-width having centers at 5.4, 10.5, 22, and 40 khz. Noise levels were low during daylight hours and high at night indicating t…
