Recenzje

'The intimate connection between theory and data is a strength of this text … The content of [the book] could be effectively communicated in a classroom. While it is best suited for advanced graduate students in fluid dynamics or physical oceanography, students in other related fields would certainly learn a lot from this text.' Colin R. Meyer, Pure and Applied Geophysics
