ISBN: 0521025931 ISBN-13: 9780521025935 Publisher: Cambridge University Press OUR PRICE: $107.35 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: April 2006 Annotation: This text is addressed to advanced students in oceanography, meteorology and environmental sciences as well as to professional researchers in these fields. It aims to acquaint them with the state of the art and recent advances in experimental and theoretical investigations of ocean-atmosphere interactions, a rapidly developing field in earth sciences. Particular attention is paid to the scope and perspectives for satellite measurements and mathematical modelling. Current approaches to the construction of coupled ocean-atmosphere models (from the simplest zero-dimensional to the most comprehensive three-dimensional ones) for the solution of key problems in climate theory are discussed in detail. Field measurements and the results of numerical climate simulations are presented and help to explain climate variability arising from various natural and anthropogenic factors. |
