Author: Helen Czerski
Narrator: Helen Czerski
A scientist’s exploration of the "ocean engine"-the physics behind the ocean’s systems-and why it matters. All of Earth’s oceans, from the equator to the poles, are a single engine powered by sunlight, driving huge flows of energy, water, life, and raw materials. In The Blue Machine, physicist and oceanographer Helen Czerski illustrates the mechanisms behind this defining feature of our planet, voyaging from the depths of the ocean floor to tropical coral reefs, estuaries that feed into shallow coastal seas, and Arctic ice floes. Through stories of history, culture, and animals, she explains how water temperature, salinity, gravity, and the movement of Earth’s tectonic plates all interact in a complex dance, supporting life at the smallest scale-plankton-and the largest-giant sea turtles, whales, humankind.

Free Download Wave Dynamics and Radio Probing of the Ocean Surface by O. M. Phillips, Klaus Hasselmann

In 1960, Dr. George Deacon ofthe National Institute ofOceanography in England organized a meeting in Easton, Maryland that summarized the state of our understanding at that time of ocean wave statistics and dynamics. It was a pivotal occasion: spectral techniques for wave measurement were beginning to be used, wave-wave interactions hadjust been discovered, and simple models for the growth of waves by wind were being developed. The meeting laid the foundation for much work that was to follow, but one could hardly have imagined the extent to which new techniques of measurement, particularly by remote sensing, new methods of calculation and computation, and new theoretical and laboratory results would, in the following twenty years, build on this base. When Gaspar Valenzuela of the V. S. Naval Research Laboratory perceived that the time was right for a second such meeting, it was natural that Sir George Deacon would be invited to serve as honorary chairman for the meeting, and the entire waves community was delighted at his acceptance. The present volume contains reviewed and edited papers given at this second meeting, held this time in Miami, Florida, May 13-20, 1981, with the generous support of the Office of Naval Research, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Free Download Ocean Circulation and Air-Sea Interaction in the South China Sea by Dongxiao Wang
English | PDF,EPUB | 2022 | 448 Pages | ISBN : 9811962618 | 240.9 MB
This book summarizes achievements of the study on circulation and air-sea interaction and development of the ocean observation network in the South China Sea in the last 20 years, thus serving as a comprehensive reference book to understand the dynamic environment in the SCS. It consists of seven chapters, briefly reviewing our understanding of the SCS circulation and air-sea interaction in chapter 1, then describing in detail the upper layer circulation from large scale (SCS through flow, SCS western boundary current, etc.), to meso- and submeso-scale in Chapters 2 and 5, dilute river plume and coastal upwelling over the shelf in Chapter 3, deep ocean circulation in Chapter 4, tropical cyclone activities and air-sea flux at the interface in Chapter 6, and the construction of the observation network and database in Chapter 7. Besides the basic features of these physical processes, the book also discusses their variations and fundamental dynamics. Thus, it is written in a way that meets the different information demands from researchers working in various marine related fields.

English | ISBN: 3642313949 | 2016 | 441 pages | EPUB | 20 MB
Piton de la Fournaise and Karthala are both shield volcanoes in the southwest Indian Ocean. This publication summarizes the work done on these very active basaltic volcanoes. Piton de la Fournaise has a long history of scientific research and monitoring, with many data collected during recent eruptions. It is certainly one of the most studied volcanoes in the world. The work presented in this monograph includes geological, geophysical, geochemical and petrological aspects, but also studies on physical geography, natural hazards and the sociological and behavioural approaches.’

Free Download Abenteuer Ocean Race: Mit meinem Team beim Rennen um die Welt
Deutsch | 2023 | ISBN: 3570105318 | 353 Seiten | EPUB (True) | 79 MB
Das Ocean Race ist der härteste Teamwettbewerb im Segeln, vielleicht sogar der ganzen Sportwelt. 2023 geht auch die „Malizia-Seaexplorer" des deutschen Spitzenseglers Boris Herrmann an den Start. Boris und Rosalin, Will, Nico und Antoine treiben ihr Schiff mit höchster Geschwindigkeit durch die Weiten der Ozeane und müssen dabei monatelang auf wenigen Quadratmetern miteinander auskommen. Im Südpolarmeer droht der Mast zu brechen, vor Kap Hoorn wird Rosalin aus der Koje geschleudert, im Nordatlantik stellt die Crew einen neuen Geschwindigkeits-Weltrekord auf. Boris Herrmann und Andreas Wolfers erzählen in ihrem neuen Buch von einer unglaublichen Teamleistung, von Dramen, intimen Momenten, Selbstfindung und Kampfeslust. Von Glücksgefühlen, Rückschlägen und der Kraft, sich immer wieder aufzurichten. Und nicht zuletzt von der Magie der Ozeane. Mit seiner schönen Ausstattung und den zahlreichen Farbfotos von Bord der Malizia ist das Buch ein ideales Geschenk für alle Segelfans.
