Gross, M G

The world ocean and those processes that control its major features and the life in it are examined for beginning students or laymen. In general the ocean areas and processes selected for discussion are those most likely to be seen by land dwellers and those that affect our lives. The view of the coastal ocean and its limitations should be of interest to all citizens concerned with the utilization of the coastal ocean and the coastline at its margins. Problems that have occupied oceanographers during the century since the beginnings of the science and research methods are discussed. Each chapter is followed by a list of references.
