關於本電子書
Did you know that intense tidal activity in specific geographical locations, like straits and continental shelves, significantly drives vertical transport of heat and nutrients? The book progresses from establishing the basic principles of tidal mechanics to exploring how tidal mixing affects ocean currents and heat transport. It then investigates the far-reaching consequences of these localized mixing events on regional and global climate patterns, examining how changes in tidal amplitude or phasing can trigger climate shifts.
This comprehensive approach, synthesizing global observations and numerical modeling results, makes it unique by demonstrating the interconnectedness of tidal systems and their climatic consequences.
This book is valuable because it emphasizes the significance of understanding the complex interactions between oceanography, climatology, and geophysics for predicting future climate changes and mitigating their effects.
