Estuaries: Monitoring and Modeling the Physical System examines these processes, offering extensive information about the geological evolution of estuaries, and details of bathymetry, tides, currents, salt and heat, and suspended sediment. By carefully building a working computer model which accurately emulates the complexities inherent in estuaries, students learn quickly 606 $aEstuarine oceanography 606 $aEstuarine oceanography$xMathematical models 615 0$aEstuarine oceanography. 615 0$aEstuarine oceanography$xMathematical models. 676 $a551.4618 700 $aHardisty$b J$g(Jack),$f1955-$0445248 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996213070303316 996 $aEstuaries$92252744 997 $aUNISA
