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 m 410 0$aInternational geophysics series ;$vv. 93. 606 $aAtmospheric circulation 606 $aOcean-atmosphere interaction 606 $aOcean circulation 606 $aFluid dynamics 606 $aAtmospheric thermodynamics 615 0$aAtmospheric circulation. 615 0$aOcean-atmosphere interaction. 615 0$aOcean circulation. 615 0$aFluid dynamics. 615 0$aAtmospheric thermodynamics. 676 $a551.5/246 700 $aMarshall$b John$f1954-$0633624 701 $aPlumb$b R.
