For over four decades, aggregations of phytoplankton known as thin layers have been
observed to harbor large amounts of photosynthetic cells within narrow horizontal bands …

Seamounts interacting with oceanic currents create flow complexities which depend upon
current speed, stratification, latitude, and seamount morphology. Seamount effects, which …

This volume presents modern tidal ideas to those who are not tidal specialists, but who need
some knowledge of tidal processes, including hydrographers, marine and coastal …

In this exciting and innovative textbook, two leading oceanographers bring together the
fundamental physics and biology of the coastal ocean in a quantitative but accessible way …

The dense concentrat~ ons of blomass colnmonly seen at fronts are often explalned by a
phys~ olog~ cal response of the oiganlsms to the frontal environment However, some …

Headlands, islands, and reefs generate complex three-dimensional secondary flows that
result in physical and biological fronts. Mixing and diffusion processes near these reefs and …

Publisher Summary A common-sense view of the marine environment as a fluid medium
would probably imply progressive changes and smooth gradients in physical properties …

We review the state of knowledge about offshore wind farm (OWF) development-related
effects on hydrodynamics and their possible secondary effects on fishes derived from …

Physical Oceanographic Processes of the Great Barrier Reef is the first comprehensive
volume describing the water circulation and its influence in controlling the distribution of …
