Sinopse

Thisbook contains a comprehensive study of the internal ocean waves, whichplaya very important role in ocean physics providing mechanisms for ocean water mixing and circulation, as wellas the transportation ofgases, nutrients, and a very large number of marine organisms in the ocean body.In contrast to surface waves, the literature on internal waves is not so numerous, mainlydue to the difficulties in experimental data collection andin the mathematical description of internal wave propagation. In this book, the basic mathematical principles, a physical description of the observed phenomena, and practical theoretical methods of determination of wave parameters as well as the original method of observation using moving sensorsare presented. Special attention is paid tointernal wave propagation over changing bottom topographies in shallow seas such as the Baltic Sea.The book is supplemented with an extended list of relevant and extended bibliographies, a subject index, and an author index.
