Description
The modelling of ocean circulation is important not only for its own sake, but also in terms of the prediction of weather patterns and the effects of climate change. This book introduces the basic computational techniques necessary for all models of the ocean and atmosphere, and the conditions they must satisfy. It describes the workings of ocean models, the problems that must be solved in their construction, and how to evaluate computational results. Major emphasis is placed on examining ocean models critically, and determining what they do well and what they do poorly. Numerical analysis is introduced as needed, and exercises are included to illustrate major points. Developed from notes for a course taught in physical oceanography at the College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences at Oregon State University, this book is ideal for graduate students of oceanography, geophysics, climatology and atmospheric science, and researchers in oceanography and atmospheric science.
Description
"Numerical Modeling of Ocean Circulation begins with an introduction to the basic computational techniques that are necessary for all models of the ocean and atmosphere, and the conditions they must satisfy. It contains descriptions of the workings of ocean models, the problems that must be solved in their construction, and how to evaluate computational results. Major emphasis is placed on those features that distinguish models of the ocean from other models in computational fluid dynamics, with the intention of examining ocean models critically, and determining what they do well and what they do poorly. Numerical analysis is introduced as needed, and exercises are included to illustrate major points." "This book is ideal for graduate students of oceanography, geophysics, climatology, and atmospheric science. It will also be of great interest to researchers in oceanography and atmospheric science."--book jacket.
