This textbook provides an introduction to turbulent motion
occurring naturally in the ocean on scales ranging from millimetres
to hundreds of kilometres. It describes turbulence in the mixed
boundary layers at the sea surface and seabed, turbulent motion in
the density-stratified water between, and the energy sources that
support and sustain ocean mixing. Little prior knowledge of
physical oceanography is assumed. The text is supported by numerous
figures, extensive further reading lists, and more than 50
exercises that are graded in difficulty. Detailed solutions to the
exercises are available to instructors online at
www.cambridge.org/9780521859486. This textbook is intended for
undergraduate courses in physical oceanography, and all students
interested in multidisciplinary aspects of how the ocean works,
from the shoreline to the deep abyssal plains. It also forms a
useful lead-in to the author's more advanced graduate textbook, The
Turbulent Ocean (Cambridge University Press, 2005).
