From the book reviews: "The aim of the present book is a thorough and careful representation of the ocean dynamics. ... The excellent comprehensive work is intended for graduate students of physical oceanography, meteorology, geophysics and general physics, as well as to any reader interested in a thorough discussion of ocean dynamics. The volume is also useful for researchers working in the field of climate physics." (Claudia-Veronika Meister, zbMATH, Vol. 1296, 2014)
