Dynamics of Internal Gravity Waves in the Ocean
Springer (Verlag)
978-90-481-5692-4 (ISBN)
The book is meant for specialists in physics of the ocean, oceanography, geophysics, hydroacoustics.
This monograph creates a systematic interpretation of the theoretical and the most actual experimental aspects of the internal wave dynamics in the ocean. Firstly, it draws attention to the important physical effects from an oceanographical point of view which are presented in mathematical descriptions. Secondly, the book serves as an introduction to the range of modern ideas and the methods in the study of wave processes in dispersive media.
The book is meant for specialists in physics of the ocean, oceanography, geophysics, hydroacoustics.
