Description

Product Description This book examines the general principles governing ocean phenomena in regions of shallow water near land. It emphasizes physical process such as tested effects, global sea level changes, and sediment transport. Synopsis "The Sea" is a series with a history going back to the three-volume treatise published by Wiley in 1962-3. Now, the series is again being extended with five volumes planned that emphasize the interaction of physical, chemical and biological oceanography. This is the first of these volumes and it deals with the general principles governing ocean phenomena in regions of shallower water near land. Physical processes such as tidal effects, global sea level changes and sediment transport are emphasized. Models and methods are dealt with in detail, including remote sensing, models of coastal ocean circulation, and data acquisition. The book presents a systematic and integrated treatment of coastal oceanography. It deals with many of those aspects of oceanography that most impact human activity: biological productivity and fisheries, currents and shipping, tidal behavior, sediments and silting, and waves and air/sea interactions.
