Synopsis

This volume provides an overview of current developments in theoretical aspects of atmosphere-ocean interactions. These include the fundamental influence of the ocean surface on the atmospheric dynamics and also the impact of atmospheric phenomena on the upper ocean. Both large scale ocean-atmosphere dynamics, including low frequency variability, as well as shorter time-scales, such as the physics of the atmospheric and oceanic boundary layers and their interactions with surface waves and related air-sea processes important in marine storms are considered. The text also includes some recent research results.

About this title

Review

"...a highly readable summary of the state of the science in atmosphere-ocean interactions...a valuable contribution and a worthy addition to the library of both the generalist and specialist in air-sea interaction." - BULLETIN OF THE AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY
