The ocean and climate change. References. Glossary. Index. "Regional Oceanography: An Introduction presents an introduction to the physical oceanography of the world ocean for students of all fields of marine sciences. Rather than presenting its material in a simple geographical framework, the book uses ocean dynamics as a frame of reference. Students of marine biology, chemistry, geology and engineering therefore find it useful as an introduction to basic ocean dynamics. The presentation of the regional distribution of properties is based on the modern data bases that have become available during the last two decades. This use of modern data sources combined with an extensive reference list makes the book valuable as a reference text for graduate students of physical oceanography and researchers in the field. Meteorologists interested in the ocean’s role in climate variability and climate change will find the book a helpful introduction to the interaction between ocean and atmosphere."<
