Nonlinear Physical Oceanography

Více o knize

The book explores the application of dynamical systems theory to global ocean circulation, focusing on key phenomena such as the Gulf Stream, thermohaline circulation stability, and the El Niño/Southern Oscillation. It presents numerical methods for bifurcation analysis of large-scale ocean models, offering a systematic approach to climate variability through a hierarchy of models. Designed for graduate students and researchers in meteorology and oceanography, it includes self-contained chapters with detailed derivations, catering to those with a background in fluid dynamics and applied mathematics.
