The subject of ocean turbulence is in a state of discovery and
development with many intellectual challenges. This book describes
the principal dynamic processes that control the distribution of
turbulence, its dissipation of kinetic energy and its effects on
the dispersion of properties such as heat, salinity, and dissolved
or suspended matter in the deep ocean, the shallow coastal and the
continental shelf seas. It focuses on the measurement of
turbulence, and the consequences of turbulent motion in the oceanic
boundary layers at the sea surface and near the seabed. Processes
are illustrated by examples of laboratory experiments and field
observations. The Turbulent Ocean provides an excellent resource
for senior undergraduate and graduate courses, as well as an
introduction and general overview for researchers. It will be of
interest to all those involved in the study of fluid motion, in
particular geophysical fluid mechanics, meteorology and the
dynamics of lakes.
