This book discusses the physical mechanisms and processes of the sea, and will be valuable not only to oceanographers but also physicists, graduate students, and scientists working in dynamics or optics of the marine environment UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=241626 ER -
