Numerical Ocean Circulation Modeling

A comprehensive overview of the models and methods employed in the rapidly advancing field of numerical ocean circulation modelling. It contains reviews of the equations of oceanic motion, subgridscale parameterization, and numerical approximation techniques, and a suite of model test problems.

This book offers a comprehensive overview of the models and methods employed in the rapidly advancing field of numerical ocean circulation modeling. For those new to the field, concise reviews of the equations of oceanic motion, sub-grid-scale parameterization, and numerical approximation techniques are presented and four specific numerical models, chosen to span the range of current practice, are described in detail. For more advanced users, a suite of model test problems is developed to illustrate the differences among models, and to serve as a first stage in the quantitative evaluation of future algorithms. The extensive list of references makes this book a valuable text for both graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in the marine sciences and in related fields such as meteorology, and climate and coupled biogeochemical modeling.
