Modeling Methods for Marine Science EPUB
by David M. Glover, William J. Jenkins, Scott C. Doney
EPUB
Description
This advanced textbook on modeling, data analysis and numerical techniques for marine science has been developed from a course taught by the authors for many years at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute.
The first part covers statistics: singular value decomposition, error propagation, least squares regression, principal component analysis, time series analysis and objective interpolation.
The second part deals with modeling techniques: finite differences, stability analysis and optimization.
The third part describes case studies of actual ocean models of ever increasing dimensionality and complexity, starting with zero-dimensional models and finishing with three-dimensional general circulation models.
Throughout the book hands-on computational examples are introduced using the MATLAB programming language and the principles of scientific visualization are emphasised.
Ideal as a textbook for advanced students of oceanography on courses in data analysis and numerical modeling, the book is also an invaluable resource for a broad range of scientists undertaking modeling in chemical, biological, geological and physical oceanography.
