Curtis Ebbesmeyer is no ordinary scientist. Though he has degrees in engineering and oceanography, he's never held a traditional academic post, choosing instead to consult, for everyone from the oil companies to Seattle sewage treatment facilities to the Navy, and then, along the way, he's followed his interests, researching many different aspects ...
Aided by an army of beachcombers, oceanographer Dr. Curtis Ebbesmeyer tracks trash in the name of science. From sneakers to hockey gloves, Curt monitors the watery fate of human-made cargo that has spilled into the ocean. The information he collects is much more than casual news; it is important scientific data. And with careful analysis, Curt, ...
Written by a group of international experts in their field, this book is a review of Lagrangian observation, analysis and assimilation methods in physical and biological oceanography. This multidisciplinary text presents new results on nonlinear analysis of Lagrangian dynamics, the prediction of particle trajectories, and Lagrangian stochastic ...

Offering detailed insight into the history and long-term effects of the weather phenomenon that is making headlines throughout the world, this is the first comprehensive book about El Nino and its effects on America and the world.
A coastal sea area usually indicates a sea area between a continental shelf break with a water depth of about 200m and the land shore. About 70 per cent of global fish resources spend part of their life cycle in the coastal seas, which accounts for 90 per cent of marine biomass yield. Freshwater and nutrients from the land have a great influence ...
The Norwegian Coastal Current originates primarily from the freshwater outflow from the Baltic and the freshwater run-off from Norway. It flows northwards along the coast of Norway as a low-salinity current. The Norwegian coastal region is the spawning ground for a number of important oceanic fish stocks, and the physical environment has an impact ...
Discusses the reasons for the existence of tides, different tides, wave formation, kinds of waves, the causes of currents, specific currents and currents and future oceanography development.
Examines the great movements of water called ocean currents, discussing how they are mapped, what keeps them moving, and how they can affect the weather.
What causes ocean currents? How do they affect the Earth's environment? How have they affected the course of human history? Students gain fascinating insights into our world through these innovative hands-on activities. Students explore how wind, temperature, salinity, and density set water into motion. They go on to learn how the ocean makes our ...
