Oceanography And Marine Biology: Volume 35
CRC Press 1997; US$ 199.95The series is an essential reference text for research workers and students in all fields of marine science and related subjects. An ever increasing interest in oceanography and environmental issues makes it especially relevant. more...
Numerical Modeling of Ocean Circulation
Cambridge University Press 2007; US$ 76.00Describes ocean models for graduate students and researchers in oceanography, geophysics, climatology and atmospheric science. more...
Marine Science
Infobase Publishing 2005; US$ 29.95Nearly three-quarters of Earth?s surface is covered by water, and more than 90 percent of the Earth?s living space is in the ocean. The oceans influence climate and weather patterns, affecting people?s daily lives in many ways. Marine science includes all of the sciences as they relate to the sea, including marine biography and oceanography. From the... more...
The Agulhas Current
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 189.99The Agulhas Current is one of the major currents of the world ocean. In the network of currents that connect the major ocean basins, it forms a key link. This linkage may be of critical importance in the way the ocean affects the earth's climate and climate change. Based on the research findings of 60 years, the author describes the origins of... more...
An Introduction to Ocean Turbulence
Cambridge University Press 2007; US$ 60.00An introductory undergraduate textbook on ocean turbulence for courses in physical oceanography. more...
Breaking Ocean Waves
Springer 2007; US$ 179.99Represents a comprehensive description of the physical findings of an investigation into the spatio-temporal characteristics of the gravity of breaking waves and the foam activity in open sea by methods and instruments of optical and microwave remote sensing. more...
Tsunami
Springer 2008; US$ 189.99In the last three years, there have been three large tsunamis in the Indian Ocean, most notably the notorious one which struck on 26 December 2004 and killed more than 238,000 people. It was generated by one of the largest recorded earthquakes in the last 100 years. Such events occur about four times per century, mainly in the Pacific Ocean. Few scientists... more...
Tsunamis
Infobase Publishing 2008; US$ 47.40Discusses the many aspects of the generation, movement, and effects of tsunamis. This book includes analysis of the triggering mechanisms for tsunamis, the physics and historical effects, the various warning systems, and individual cases of tsunamis around the world. It features black-and-white photographs and illustrations. more...
Extreme Ocean Waves
Springer 2008; US$ 129.99Extreme, freak or rogue waves are produced by a number of physical mechanisms that focus the water-wave energy into a small area, due to wave instability, chaotic behaviour, dispersion (frequency modulation), refraction (presence of variable currents or bottom topography), soliton interactions, etc. During the past thirty years a number of physical... more...
