One of the most crucial but still very poorly understood topics of
oceanographic science is the role of ocean processes in
contributing to the dynamics of climate and global change. This
book presents a series of high level lectures on the major
categories of ocean/atmosphere processes. Three of these major
issues are the focus of the lectures: (1) air--sea interaction
processes; (2) water mass formation, dispersion and mixing; (3)
general circulation, with specific emphasis on the thermohaline
component. Global examples in the world ocean are provided and
discussed in the lectures. In parallel, the Mediterranean Sea is a
laboratory basin in providing analogues of the above global
processes relevant to climate dynamics. They include the
Mediterranean thermohaline circulation with its own conveyor belt';
intermediate and deep water mass formation and transformations,
dispersion and mixing. No other book in the field provides a review
of fundamental lectures on these processes, coupled with global
examples and their Mediterranean analogues.
