Ocean Mixing

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines how large-scale processes drive centimetre-scale mixing throughout the stratified ocean. It explores the primary factors affecting mixing and turbulence, and reviews insights from laboratory studies and numerical modelling. It is an excellent reference for researchers and graduate students in oceanography and related fields.

Autorenporträt

Michael C. Gregg is an Emeritus Professor of Oceanography at the University of Washington. He is a leading expert on small-scale mixing processes and turbulence in the ocean, and has devoted his career to understanding these processes and how they impact larger-scale ocean dynamics. He was awarded the Henry Stommel Research Medal by the American Meteorological Society for his work on mixing and turbulence and is a fellow of the AGU, AMS and the AAAS.
