About this title

Review

It is recommended to students physical oceanography, meteorology and environmental physics who wish to improve their understanding of the interface between ocean and atmosphere. N. C. Wells

The book appears to have been written principally for postgraduate physical oceanographers and meterologists, but as it is well written it should be reasonably accessible to many others. The inclusion of gas and particle transfer would reward the study of interested marine geochemists.................I am highly impressed that two scientists can cover such a large area of research at such an advanced level.....................this is an academically challenging book, but I have found it to be a valuable reference and can recommend it. It is a serious book, but adequately rewards the readers efforts (Ocean Challenge)
