In situ measurement of some other components 330 $a Through research, physical oceanography aims to solve the numerous problems stated by thermal, optical and dynamical properties of the oceans. Instrumentation and Metrology in Physical Oceanography describes the means used in oceanography to determine physical properties of the oceans by medium of in situ measurements. This book explores the theoretical functioning of sensors and instruments, as well as different practical aspects of using these tools. The content of this book appeals directly to technicians or engineers wishing to enhance their knowledge of instrumentation a 410 0$aInstrumentation and measurement series. 606 $aOceanographic instruments 606 $aOceanography$xMeasurement 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aOceanographic instruments. 615 0$aOceanography$xMeasurement. 676 $a551.46 676 $a551.46028/4 676 $a551.460284 700 $aLe Menn$b Marc$0920413 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910133863203321 996 $aInstrumentation and metrology in oceanography$92064438 997 $aUNINA
