It will give students a good grasp of what the atmosphere and oceans look like on the large-scale and why they look that way. The role of the oceans in climate and paleoclimate is also discussed. The combination of observations, theory and accompanying illustrative laboratory experiments sets this text apart by mInternational geophysics series ;v. 93.Atmospheric circulationOcean-atmosphere interactionOcean circulationFluid dynamicsAtmospheric thermodynamicsAtmospheric circulation.Ocean-atmosphere interaction.Ocean circulation.Fluid dynamics.Atmospheric thermodynamics.551.5246Marshall John145056Plumb R.
