This book  presents a series of high level lectures on the major categories of  ocean\/atmosphere processes. Three of these major issues are the focus  of the lectures: (1) air--sea interaction processes; (2) water mass  formation, dispersion and mixing; (3) general circulation, with  specific emphasis on the thermohaline component. Global examples in  the world ocean are provided and discussed in the lectures. In  parallel, the Mediterranean Sea is a laboratory basin in providing  analogues of the above global processes relevant to climate dynamics.  They include the Mediterranean thermohaline circulation with its own  `conveyor belt'; intermediate and deep water mass formation and  transformations, dispersion and mixing. No other book in the field  provides a review of fundamental lectures on these processes, coupled  with global examples and their Mediterranean analogues. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1993-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792326243\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-0870-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 437\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46311662944396,"sku":"9780792326243","price":296.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792326243.jpg?v=1771510077","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792326243","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
