描述 | Since the computing revolution, modelling has become the mostimportant way in which we further our knowledge about how the seamoves and how the processes in the sea operate. The coast and thecontinental shelf are two of the most important areas of the sea tounderstand. .Coastal and Shelf Sea Modelling. is therefore verytimely and important. In this text, modelling the processes that occurin the sea is motivated continually through real life examples.Sometimes these are incorporated naturally within the text, but thereare also a number of case studies taken from the recent researchliterature. These will be particularly valuable to students as theyare presented in a style more readily accessible than that found in atypical research journal. The motivation for modelling is care for theenvironment. The well publicised problem of global warming, thephenomenon of El Niño, more localised pollution scares causedby tanker accidents and even smaller scale coastal erosion caused bystorms all provide motivation for modelling and all get coverage inthis text. Particularly novel features of the book include asystematic treatment of the modelling process in a marine context, theinclusion of diffu |
