has been up to date within the gentle of contemporary oceanographic learn, and improved
as a educating textual content at the foundation of suggestions from earlier scholars and other
readers.
amazing additions contain new sections addressing the subject of
numerical modelling, and extra dialogue of normal oscillations in the
ocean-atmosphere process (previously constrained to the El Niño phenomenon). In
particular, the bankruptcy at the North Atlantic now features a dialogue of
the North Atlantic Oscillation, in addition to of the nice Salinity Anomaly. In
the ultimate bankruptcy, therapy of water mass formation has been up-to-date to
reflect contemporary principles concerning the tactics concerned and the way they relate to
climatic switch over various time-scales, from many years to millennia.
