内容简介 This second edition retains the general structure of the first edition, but
has been updated in the light of recent oceanographic research, and improved
as a teaching text on the basis of feedback from past students and other
readers.
Notable additions include new sections addressing the topic of
numerical modelling, and more discussion of natural oscillations in the
ocean-atmosphere system (previously confined to the El Ni?±o phenomenon). In
particular, the Chapter on the North Atlantic now includes a discussion of
the North Atlantic Oscillation, as well as of the Great Salinity Anomaly. In
the final Chapter, treatment of water mass formation has been updated to
reflect recent ideas about the processes involved and how they relate to
climatic change over different time-scales, from decades to millennia.
High quality full colour diagrams
Substantial chapter summaries ideal for revision
Answers, hints and notes for questions at back of the book

...provides a broad overview of the concepts of ocean circulation, including ocean-atmosphere interaction, global fluxes, surface circulation, the North Atlantic subtropical gyre, and other major systems, including El Nino. This edition presents new material on water mass formation, numerical modeling, and natural oscillations in the ocean-atmosphere system. It contains numerous color illustrations as well as problems for students to solve and summaries at the end of each chapter. -Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, April 2002 --
Review 编辑推荐 ...remains an excellent choice for a course that introduces ocean circulation and physical oceanography in an intuitive nonmathematical way. Without much advanced mathematics, the book continues to present the basic dynamics of ocean circulation without getting bogged down in derivations. For those who want a nonmathematical introduction to ocean circulation and physical oceanography, Ocean Circulation continues to be the text of choice - The Bulletin of the American Meteorlogical Society
