Waves in the ocean / Paul H. LeBlond, Lawrence A. Mysak.
Title: | Waves in the ocean / Paul H. LeBlond, Lawrence A. Mysak. |
Author(s): | LeBlond, Paul H. Mysak, Lawrence A. |
Date: | 1978. |
Publisher: | Amsterdam: Elsevier Scientific |
Abstract: | Presents broad review ranging from capillary to planetary waves, with emphasis on modern developments and with graduate-level exercises at end of most sections. Introduces basic equations, approximations, and general properties of plane and nearly-plane waves. Three chapters on free waves cover short wavelengths, long wavelengths, and lateral boundary effects. Remaining chapters cover: statistical and probabilistic methods; wave interactions; wave-current interactions (critical layer absorption and stability of parallel flows); and generation and dissipation of waves. |
