This moment version keeps the final constitution of the 1st variation, but
has been up-to-date within the gentle of modern oceanographic examine, and improved
as a educating textual content at the foundation of suggestions from previous scholars and other
readers.
Notable additions comprise new sections addressing the subject of
numerical modelling, and extra dialogue of normal oscillations in the
ocean-atmosphere approach (previously limited to the El Niño phenomenon). In
particular, the bankruptcy at the North Atlantic now encompasses a dialogue of
the North Atlantic Oscillation, in addition to of the nice Salinity Anomaly. In
the ultimate bankruptcy, remedy of water mass formation has been up-to-date to
reflect contemporary principles in regards to the procedures concerned and the way they relate to
climatic swap over assorted time-scales, from many years to millennia.
