The modelling of ocean circulation is important not only for its
own sake, but also in terms of the prediction of weather patterns
and the effects of climate change. This 2007 book introduces the
basic computational techniques necessary for all models of the
ocean and atmosphere, and the conditions they must satisfy. It
describes the workings of ocean models, the problems that must be
solved in their construction, and how to evaluate computational
results. Major emphasis is placed on examining ocean models
critically, and determining what they do well and what they do
poorly. Numerical analysis is introduced as needed, and exercises
are included to illustrate major points. Developed from notes for a
course taught in physical oceanography at the College of Oceanic
and Atmospheric Sciences at Oregon State University, this book is
ideal for graduate students of oceanography, geophysics,
climatology and atmospheric science, and researchers in
oceanography and atmospheric science.
