'Introductory Dynamical Oceanography' 2nd ed provides an
introduction to Dynamical Physical Oceanography at a level suitable
for senior year undergraduate students in the sciences and for
graduate students entering oceanography. It aims to present the
basic objectives, procedures and successes and to state some of the
present limitations of dynamical oceanography and its relations to
descriptive physical oceanography.
The first edition has been thoroughly revised and updated and the
new work includes reference to the Practical Salinity Scale 1978,
the International Equation of State 1980 and the beta-spiral
technique for calculating absolute currents from the density
distribution. In addition the description of mixed-layer models has
been updated and the chapters on Waves and on Tides have been
substantially revised and enlarged, with emphasis on internal waves
in the Waves chapter. While the text is self-contained readers are
recommended to acquaint themselves with the general aspects of
descriptive (synoptic) oceanography in order to be aware of the
character of the ocean which the dynamical oceanographer is
attempting to explain by referring to Pickard and Emery's
'Descriptive Physical Oceanography' 4th edition.
