In particular, the Chapter on the North Atlantic now includes a discussion of the North Atlantic Oscillation, as well as of the 606 $aOcean circulation 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aOcean circulation. 676 $a551.47/01 701 $aColling$b Angela$0630380 712 02$aOpen University.$bOceanography Course Team. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457359403321 996 $aOcean circulation$91206197 997 $aUNINA
