In this book, data from a model ocean developed to compute free oscillations is used to analyze the LSA effect on tides and the synthesis of tides by free oscillation. It is also used to show the existence of six long-period planetary vorticity modes.

This book is dedicated to the study of the structure, as well as the transport, of deep and bottom waters through underwater channels in the Atlantic Ocean. The study is based on recent observations, analysis of historical data, and a literature review.

This book documents the geological, geophysical, geochemical and paleontological features of modern accretionay prisms and trenches in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, based on 10 years of submersible dive cruises, ODP drilling projects and geophysical surveys.

This book features practical exercises, using Open-Source software, to introduce advanced methods used in the computer-based modeling of fluid processes. This includes nonhydrostatic processes such as breaking internal waves and density-driven convection.
