Synopsis: "Physical oceanography" encompasses a broad range of subjects, from heat transfer to sound and optics. Knauss brings all these disparate fields together in this comprehensive text. He strikes a balance between purely descriptive texts and mathematically rigorous ones, assuming readers only have knowledge of elementary calculus and physics. This results in a straightforward, readable book that makes the material accessible both to readers specializing in physical oceanography and those from other disciplines who need to understand the fundamental principles of physical oceanography.

From the Publisher: Written by a respected scholar in the field, this comprehensive, contemporary introduction to physical oceanography covers fundamental topics of interest to biologists, chemists, geologists, and physical oceanographers.
