This book is a direct result of the NATO Advanced Study Institute
held in Banyuls-sur-mer, France, June 1985. The Institute had the
same title as this book. It was held at Laboratoire Arago. Eighty
lecturers and students from almost all NATO countries attended. The
purpose was to review the state of the art of physical
oceanographic numerical modelling including the parameterization of
physical processes. This book represents a cross-section of the
lectures presented at the ASI. It covers elementary mathematical
aspects through large scale practical aspects of ocean circulation
calculations. It does not encompass every facet of the science of
oceanographic modelling. We have, however, captured most of the
essence of mesoscale and large-scale ocean modelling for blue water
and shallow seas. There have been considerable advances in
modelling coastal circulation which are not included. The methods
section does not include important material on phase and group
velocity errors, selection of grid structures, advanced methods to
conservation in highly nonlinear systems, inverse methods and other
important ideas for modern ocean modelling. Hopefully, this book
will provide a foundation of knowledge to support the growth of
this emergent field of science. The NATO Advanced Study Institute
was supported by many organi zations. The seed money, of course,
was received from the NATO Science Commi ttee. Many national
organizations provided travel money for partiCipants. In France,
CNES, IFREMER, and CNRS provided funds to support the French
participants. In the U. S."
