Ocean Currents: Physical Drivers in a Changing World

by Robert Marsh, Erik Van Sebille

Ocean Physical Drivers in a Changing World opens with a general introduction to the character, measurement, and simulation of ocean currents, leading to a physical and dynamical framework for understanding the wide variety of flows encountered in the oceans. The book comprises chapters covering distinct aspects of contrasting ocean broad and slow, deep and shallow, narrow and swift, large scale and small scale, low latitudes and high latitudes, and moving in horizontal and vertical planes. Through this approach the authors cover a wide range of applications, from local to global, with considerable geographical context.

About the author

Robert Marsh grew up in Omaha, Nebraska, but longed to live somewhere else. He pretended not to live in Omaha by reading lots of books. Every week, Robert checked out twenty books from the library. Since he didn't have time to read all those books, he would read the first chapter of each one -- then make up the rest of the story. Robert now makes up stories for a living and doesn't live in Omaha. Dreams do come true.
