Editorial Review:
Modeling and prediction of oceanographic phenomena and climate is based on the integration of dynamic equations. The Equations of Oceanic Motions derives and systematically classifies the most common dynamic equations used in physical oceanography, from large scale thermohaline circulations to those governing small scale motions and turbulence. After establishing the basic dynamical equations that describe all oceanic motions, Müller then derives approximate equations, emphasizing the assumptions made and physical processes eliminated. He distinguishes between geometric, thermodynamic and dynamic approximations and between the acoustic, gravity, vortical and temperature-salinity modes of motion. Basic concepts and formulae of equilibrium thermodynamics, vector and tensor calculus, curvilinear coordinate systems, and the kinematics of fluid motion and wave propagation are covered in appendices. Providing the basic theoretical background for graduate students and researchers of physical oceanography and climate science, this book will serve as both a comprehensive text and an essential reference.

This book rocks 2007-10-17
"The Equations of Oceanic Motions" is a resource. Kind of a hybrid manual-textbook, it develops the equations of physical oceanography from first principles. Peter Muller developed the notes for this book specifically for his course at the University of Hawaii, "Advanced Geophysical Fluid Dynamics."
a great reference 2007-03-10
this will be an incredibly useful one-stop reference for oceanographers and meteorologists. the organisation is systematic. you can find derivations of equations and regimes they apply to. tables and figures are used efficiently. the assumptions behind the equations are also presented clearly. use this book to find out which formulations you should be using to study the flows you are interested in. the material in the book has also the advantage of having been road-tested in courses. a great book! (one complaint: expensive)
