Viac o knihe

The second edition enhances the original methodology of dynamical systems theory, focusing on large-scale ocean circulation and El Niño phenomena. It features improved clarity and readability, recent findings on wind-driven and thermohaline circulation, and includes exercises at the end of each chapter for better engagement. Chapter 1 now presents updated observational data on global ocean circulation, while chapters 2 and 3 have minor adjustments, including expanded discussions on homoclinic orbits. Additionally, chapter 4 offers new insights into steady state computations.
