It describes turbulence in the mixed boundary layers at the sea surface and seabed, turbulent motion in the density-stratified water between, and the energy sources that support and sustain ocean mixing. Little prior knowledge of physical oceanography is assumed. The text is supported by numerous figures, extensive further reading lists, and more than 50 exercises that are graded in difficulty. Detailed solutions to the exercises are available to instructors online at www.cambridge.org/9780521859486. This textbook is intended for undergraduate courses in physical oceanography, and all students interested in multidisciplinary aspects of how the ocean works, from the shoreline to the deep abyssal plains. It also forms a useful lead-in to the author's more advanced graduate textbook, The Turbulent Ocean (Cambridge University Press, 2005). 606 $aOcean circulation 606 $aOcean circulation$vProblems, exercises, etc 606 $aTurbulence 606 $aTurbulence$vProblems, exercises, etc 615 0$aOcean circulation. 615 0$aOcean circulation 615 0$aTurbulence. 615 0$aTurbulence 676 $a551.462 700 $aThorpe$b S.
