The South Atlantic (eBook, PDF)

Present and Past Circulation

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

As connecting link between the Antarctic and the North Atlantic, the South Atlantic plays an important role in the distribution of heat in the North Atlantic and in the biogeochemical budget of all oceans. Oceanographers and geologists as well as micropaleontologists and meteorologists will find a wealth of information in this

Rezensionen

"...comprehensive, well-written, superbly illustrated, thoroughly documented and it will no doubt constitute a landmark in our understanding of the South Atlantic oceanography. It will have its place in all specialized libraries." Bulletin de la Societe belge de Geologie
