Summary
Summary
Intended for analyzing marine turbulence and mixing processes, this comprehensive overview of measurement techniques and theories includes a CD-ROM containing source codes of global turbulence models and observational data. Fifty-three professional contributors provide a comprehensive source of information for students and scientists in oceanography, hydrology, limnology, and meteorology, as well as marine, naval and civil engineers.
