Description
Oceanography calls for a wide variety of mathematical and statistical techniques, and this accessible treatment provides the basics every oceanographer needs to know, including practical ways to deal with chemical, geological, and biological oceanographic data; instructions on detecting the existence of patterns in what appears to be noise; and numerous examples from the field that highlight the application of the methods presented. Written by an oceanographer and based on his successful course at the University of Hawaii, the volume is well suited to a two-semester course at the graduate level. The book reviews the necessary calculus, clarifies statistical concepts, and includes end-of-chapter problems that illustrate and expand the various topics. Tips on using MATLAB software in matrix operations complement chapters that deal with the formulation of relationships in terms of matrices. A must-read for students of oceanography, this text/reference is also useful for professionals in the field, as well as for fisheries scientists, biologists, and those in the environmental sciences.
