Heaving, stretching and spicing modes : climate variability in the ocean

Heaving, stretching and spicing modes : climate variability in the ocean / Rui Xin Huang.

This book is focused on fundamental aspects of climate variability in the ocean, in particular changes of the wind-driven circulation. The vertical movement of isopycnal (isothermal) layers, including their stretching and compression, is called heaving and stretching. A major part of climate variabi...
