Graduate textbook/reference that derives and classifies the dynamic equations used in physical oceanography, including mathematical appendices.
Autorentext
Peter Muller is a Professor of Oceanography in the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology at the University of Hawaii.
Klappentext
The Equations of Oceanic Motions derives and systematically classifies the most common dynamic equations used in physical oceanography, from large scale thermohaline circulations to those governing small-scale motions and turbulence. Müller derives approximate equations for all oceanic motions, emphasizing the assumptions made. Basic concepts and formulae of equilibrium thermodynamics, vector and tensor calculus, curvilinear coordinate systems, and the kinematics of fluid motion and wave propagation are covered in appendices. This comprehensive textbook provides the basic theoretical background for graduate students and researchers of physical oceanography.
Zusammenfassung
This comprehensive textbook derives and classifies the most common dynamic equations used in physical oceanography, emphasizing the assumptions made and the physical processes eliminated. Providing a clear exposition of the concepts for graduate students and researchers of physical oceanography, all of the necessary mathematical tools are covered in appendices.
