The scientific expedition of H.M.S. Challenger in the 1870s marks
the starting point of physical oceanography. This ship traveled the
seas of the globe pursuing a dual objective: to conduct an in-depth
study of animal life and to observe the physical properties of
ocean waters. Volume 3 focuses on measurements and modeling of
liquid compressibility. Based on the work initiated by the
physicist Peter Tait, a detailed presentation of liquid
equations-of-state is proposed. The physical interpretation of the
parameters of these equations is discussed, leading to a
description of the "structure" of liquid media. From Deep Sea to
Laboratory is available in three volumes for curious readers drawn
to travel, history and science. Students, researchers and teachers
of physics, fluid mechanics and oceanography will find material to
deepen their knowledge.
