Описание
This book deals with gradient-vorticity oceanic waves, defined as waves whose periods are much longer than the inertial period. The main subject of this book is to study the mechanisms that determine gradient-vorticity wave processes in the ocean. The book consists of an introduction and four parts. The first part deals with the fundamentals of the gradient-vorticity wave theory. Due to the development of satellite altimetry (ERS-1, ERS-2 and TOPEX/POSEIDON), there has been a lot of progress in the work studying low-frequency waves in the ocean. In the last 4 parts of the book the altimetry provides the base of most of the scientific investigation presented from the Southern, Pacific and Arctic Oceans. The description of gradient-vorticity waves begins with the Southern Ocean, where the meridional-boundary effects are small, but planetary and jet effects are most pronounced. In the Pacific, main attention is given to the trapped equatorial waves,...
