Advanced Ocean Modelling: Using Open-Source Software

This book focuses on motions of incompressible fluids of a freely moving surface being influenced by both the Earth’s rotation and density stratification. In contrast to traditional textbooks in the field of geophysical fluid dynamics, such as those by by Cushman-Roisin (1994) and Gill (1982), this book uses the method of proce- oriented hydrodynamic modelling to illustrate a rich variety of fluid phenomena. To this end, the reader can adopt the model codes, found on the Springer server acc...
