Ocean Modelling for Beginners [electronic resource] : Using Open-Source Software /
Kämpf, Jochen.author.
Offers an introduction to computer-based modelling of oceanic processes. This title contains over twenty practical exercises, using freely available Open-Source software, and covers a range of topics from long surface waves, geostrophic flows, through to the general wind-driven circulation including western boundary currents and mesoscale eddies.
