Synopsis
Written by a renowned fluid dynamicist specializing in computational methods (particularly in turbulence), this introductory text addresses the subject of dynamic oceanography from a mathematical approach, beginning with the basic equations of motion in integral form and covering geostropic flow, barotropic and baroclinic ocean circulations, vorticity, and the astronomical tides.

From the Back Cover
Working at advanced levels of oceanography requires a firm grasp of the mathematical and physical underpinnings of oceanic processes. George Mellor's Introduction to Physical Oceanography provides the appropriate analytical foundation. Written for advanced undergraduate/first-year graduate students, the book focuses on the elements of fluid dynamics essential to further study and research in oceanography. Based on lecture notes for his introductory class in physical oceanography, Mellor's text provides clear descriptions of concepts and simple analytical models of oceanic processes in a systematic presentation. Specific topics include the equations of motion, scaling analysis, geostrophic flow, atmospheric and oceanic boundary layers, barotropic and baroclinic flows, ocean circulation, surface waves, tides, and vorticity concepts. The text is enhanced by numerous figures and diagrams, with appendices providing details of mathematical topics. The information provided in the Introduction to Physical Oceanography give students the background they need for further study of the oceans. Physicists, meteorologists, and engineers in other specialties will find it a useful reference on fluid dynamics relevant to oceanography.
