Excerpt from A Practical Method for Determining Ocean Currents
This paper endeavors to encompass in a general way the foregoing subject with its various aspects. The contents deal with the fol lowing: The causes of currents; static consideration of a water mass; dynamics and Bjerknes' theory; and a practical method for mapping currents. Other related subjects discussed are friction; effect of bottom configuration; tides; variations in atmospheric pressures; and the winds. The writer has tried to present a rather technical scientific subject in such a manner that it may easily be understood by the ordinary student. Always there has been the hope that the methods elucidated herein would serve some practical economic service.
I wish to recognize with appreciation the advice and suggestions made with regard to this paper by the curator of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, and the hydrographic engineer, United States Hydrographic Office.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the origins of ocean currents, revealing earth's rotation and variations in atmospheric pressure as their fundamental causes. The author, a renowned oceanographer, uses dynamic principles to explain ocean circulation, discussing the interplay between gravity, pressure, and specific volume in driving currents. Through an in-depth examination of density and temperature distributions, the book sheds light on the stability and motion of water masses. It also investigates the effects of tides and wind on currents, providing a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic processes shaping ocean circulation. Overall, this book offers a valuable resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in unraveling the mysteries of the ocean's currents and their role in shaping our planet.
