Early in 1979, a group of wave researchers proposed a wave model inter- comparison study to clarify the interrelations existing among the various wave models which have been developed in past years for real-time wave forecasting, wave statistics compilations, or hindcast case studies.
Since the computing revolution, modelling has become the most important way in which we further our knowledge about how the sea moves and how the processes in the sea operate.
Along much of the shoreline of the world, tidal inlets play an important role in nearshore processes, providing links between the coastal oceans and protected embayments.
Underwater acoustic digital signal processing and communications is an area of applied research that has witnessed major advances over the past decade.
Inverse problems have a long history in acoustics, optics, electromagnetics and geophysics, but only recently have the signals provided by ocean acoustic sensors become numerous and sophisticated enough to allow for realistic identification of the ocean parameters.
In the 20 years since publication of the first edition of this book there have been a number of significant changes in the practice of coastal engineering.
This indispensable handbook provides state-of-the-art information and common sense guidelines, covering the design, construction, modernization of port and harbor related marine structures.
The impetus for the conference held at Bombannes, France in May, 1982 arose out of a Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) Working Group on "e;Mathematical Models in Biological Oceanography"e;.
The climate over the Indian subcontinent is influenced by complex interactions between the atmosphere, ocean, and land, along with human interventions that are influencing heat extremes, changing monsoon patterns, sea-level rise, and posing serious threats to lives and livelihoods among populations in India.
Join science journalist Sabrina Imbler on an astonishing journey which will completely redefine the way you think about nature and the ocean'An astonishing debut' GUARDIAN'Reveals just as much about our fascinating, mysterious world as it does about our fascinating, mysterious selves' NEW YORK TIMESIn My Life in Sea Creatures we encounter: the mother octopus, starving herself while watching over her eggs; the yeti crab, thriving in crushing pressure and oppressive darkness; the cuttlefish, able to change its appearance in a fraction of a second; and many other creatures lurking in the depths of the ocean.

Two-thirds of this planet is covered by water inhabited by an incredible variety of living organisms, ranging in size from microbe to whale, and in abundance from scarce to uncountable.
Development and publication of this monograph are the result of the joint efforts of Boston Edison Company and the Pilgrim Administrative Technical Committee (PATC).
In recent years there has been an increased realization that the casual disposal of wastes can lead to a deterioration in environmen- tal quality with substantial impacts on society.
Everyone working in a problem as complex as continental drift, must at some time have feit the need for an objective data summary in fields other than his own.
As part of its continuing program to stimulate superior basic research in the marine environment, the Office of Naval Research, Ocean Science and Technology Division, sponsored a series of closed seminar-workshops in 1972-1973.
Deep-sea manganese nodules, once an obscure scientific curios- ity, have, in the brief span of two decades, become a potential mineral resource of major importance.
The Eighty-Second National Meeting of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, held in Atlantic City, New Jersey, from August 29 through September 1, 1976, had as one of its themes the topic of transport processes.
The phenomenon of sound transmissions through marine sediments is of extreme interest to both the United States civilian and Navy research communities.
This introductory text, based on the author's long-standing teaching experience, aims to provide a basic preparation of fluid dynamics, with particular attention to the dynamics of the oceans and the atmosphere, which require consideration of the Coriolis force.
Two-thirds of this planet is covered by water inhabited by an incredible variety of living organisms, ranging in size from microbe to whale, and in abundance from scarce to uncountable.
The Conference on the Benthic Boundary Layer was held under the auspices of the NATO Science Committee as part of its continuing effort to promote the useful progress of science through international cooperation.
The papers at the General Symposia of the Joint Oceanographic Assembly were presented by authors who had been invited to deal with topics of broad interdisciplinary interest.
