This book was released on 1973 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Boreas expedition to the northwestern Pacific Ocean, Bering Sea, and Okhotsk Sea measured water characteristics in the upper 1500 m in the period from 27 January to 1 April 1966. The purpose of this study is to describe the winter characteristics and circulation of the northwestern Pacific Ocean as one contribution toward a general understanding of the world ocean. The attempt is to show what happens to the circulation under the intensified winter winds, to the thickness and structure of the upper layer under the effects of the winds and the winter cooling, and to the general distributions of the characteristics both in the upper layer and beneath.
Download or read book The Science of Ocean Waves written by J. B. Zirker and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2013-12-18 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unparalleled introduction to the amazing world of ocean waves. Outstanding Academic Title, Choice "Powerful ocean waves fascinate the public, and they have made a lot of news lately." With that indisputable observation, scientist J. B. Zirker takes off on a whirlwind tour of the world of waves—from the “ordinary” waves that constantly churn the sea to the rogues or freaks that can rise up seemingly from nowhere to heights of 20 meters or more . . . and everything in between. Addressing questions most ocean visitors have had and offering new ones for our consideration, The Science of Ocean Waves explains in accessible language how waves are formed, how they move, how they become huge and destructive, and how they're being studied now for clues that will help us plan for the future. Devoting chapters to wind, tides, currents, breakers, tsunamis, forecasting, renewable energy, and El Niño—as well as discussing the gentler properties of ocean waves which inspire us and offer opportunities for relaxation and recreation—Zirker explores the physical factors that create waves. Drawing on some of the recent storms that have devastated entire regions—such as Hurricane Katrina, the tsunami launched by the 2004 Sumatran earthquake, and the great tsunami that crushed the shore of Japan in 2011—Zirker explains the forces that cause these monster waves and reveals the toll they take on human lives. Enhanced by dozens of illustrations and a comprehensive glossary, The Science of Ocean Waves will fascinate anyone curious about the science behind the headlines. Praise for J. B. Zirker “Scientists know their stuff but are rarely good storytellers, whereas good storytellers rarely possess the necessary sweeping command of a scientific discipline. Zirker is that rare animal who can both communicate the most demanding technical detail and make it accessible.”—New Scientist

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapidly developing field of oceanography has necessitated the publication of a fifth edition of this classic textbook. The revised version provides an introduction to descriptive (synoptic) oceanography and contains updated information on topics such as the heat budget, instruments and in particular, the use of satellites. The sections on equatorial oceanography, sea-ice physics, distribution and El Nino have been completely rewritten. The book is further supplemented by text on thermohaline circulation, mixing and also coral reef oceanography.
