Dynamics of Marine Ecosystems: Biological-physical Interactions in the Oceans Book

A look at integrated oceanographythe view of the global ocean and the atmosphere as a joined system, influencing biological phenomena and world climate. Presented according to scales of size (less than one kilometer, 1-1000 kilometers, and thousands of kilometers), Mann and Lazier (Dept. of Fisheries and Oceans, Bedford Inst. of Oceanography) examine biology and boundary layers, the vertical structure of coastal waters and the open ocean, fronts, tides, tidal mixing, internal waves, ocean basin circulation and its variability, and the oceans and global climate (with the theory that the global atmosphere could be changed by sowing the ocean with iron). Numerous tables, graphs, illustrations, and summaries. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.Read More
