Abstract

On mesure depuis peu le rôle essentiel joué par l'océan dans les mécanismes complexes qui régissent le climat. En stockant la chaleur reçue du Soleil pour la transporter des tropiques vers les régions tempérées, l'océan interagit avec l’atmosphère, contribuant à rendre notre planète habitable. Dans le contexte du réchauffement climatique global, l'étude tes relations entre l’océan et le climat est devenue un enjeu scientifique majeur. En quelques décennies, l'océanographie physique est passée d'une approche descriptive et géographique à une approche géophysique. Cette mutation spectaculaire a été rendue possible grâce au développement de programmes internationaux sans précédent, auxquels se sont ajoutés les apports déterminants de' l’observation spatiale et de la modélisation numérique. Ce vaste déploiement de moyens techniques, scientifiques et humains est à l’origine de la découverte des mécanismes fondamentaux de la dynamique des océans, et du rôle particulier des océans tropicaux dans la variabilité climatique. Accessible à un large public, cet ouvrage retrace dans sa dimension scientifique et humaine les conquêtes d'une discipline en plein essor, à présent au cœur des questionnements sur le climat futur.

Abstract

The second edition of this book presents an updated account of the transfer of energy, matter and momentum between the atmosphere and the ocean. It covers atmospheric, oceanographic and climatological problems affected by air-sea interactions, and emphasizes an understanding of the physical processes.

Abstract

While ocean waves are the most visible example of oceanic mixing processes, this macroscale mixing process represents but one end of the spectrum of mixing processes operating in the ocean. At the scale of a typical phytoplanktoic diatom or larval fish inhabiting these seas, the most important mixing processes occur on the molecular scale - at the scale of turbulence. Physical-biological interactions at this scale are of paramount importance to the productivity of the seas (fisheries) and the heat balance that controls large scale ocean climate phenomena such as El Niño and tornadoes. This

Abstract

Atmospheric and climatological studies are becoming more and more important in day-to-day living. Winds and ocean current owe their existence to the thermodynamic imbalances that arise from the differential heating of the Earth and air by the sun. Accounting for heat exchanges with the atmosphere and ocean is essential in any predictive model of the ocean and/or atmosphere. Thermodynamic feedback processes in the atmosphere and ocean are critical to understanding the overall stability of the Earth's climate and climate change. Water and its phase changes make the thermodynamics of the atmosphe

Abstract

The book represents all the knowledge we currently have on ocean circulation. It presents an up-to-date summary of the state of the science relating to the role of the oceans in the physical climate system.The book is structured to guide the reader through the wide range of World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) science in a consistent way. Cross-references between contributors have been added, and the book has a comprehensive index and unified reference list. The book is simple to read, at the undergraduate level.

Abstract

As the regional models required to understand and control the generation, distribution and deposition of air pollutants become more precise, the need to understand the detailed effects of hilly and mountainous terrain becomes more acute. The Alpine regions and the mountainous Mediterranean coasts have large effets on the way the pollutant burden is spread in their areas. Similarly an understanding of the effects of chemical and physical processes controlling pollutant deposition and the emission of biogenic compounds is essential to the correct modelling of the coastal regions which surround so much of Europe.The results from two projects on these problems are presented in this volume: one involved a series of field campaigns in the Alps and in the Rhine valley, the other involves ships and platforms in the North Sea and also in the Mediterranean.
