Opis

This book examines how large-scale processes drive centimetre-scale mixing throughout the stratified ocean. It explores the primary factors affecting mixing and turbulence, and reviews insights from laboratory studies and numerical modelling. It is an excellent reference for researchers and graduate students in oceanography and related fields.

Recenzje
