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)
