Working at advanced levels of oceanography requires a firm grasp of
the mathematical and physical underpinnings of oceanic processes.
George Mellor's Introduction to Physical Oceanography provides the
appropriate analytical foundation. Written for advanced
undergraduate/first-year graduate students, the book focuses on the
elements of fluid dynamics essential to further study and research
in oceanography. Based on lecture notes for his introductory class
in physical oceanography, Mellor's text provides clear descriptions
of concepts and simple analytical models of oceanic processes in a
systematic presentation. Specific topics include the equations of
motion, scaling analysis, geostrophic flow, atmospheric and oceanic
boundary layers, barotropic and baroclinic flows, ocean
circulation, surface waves, tides, and vorticity concepts. The text
is enhanced by numerous figures and diagrams, with appendices
providing details of mathematical topics. The information provided
in the Introduction to Physical Oceanography give students the
background they need for further study of the oceans. Physicists,
meteorologists, and engineers in other specialties will find it a
useful reference on fluid dynamics relevant to oceanography.
