The Ocean in Motion, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2018 Circulation, Waves, Polar Oceanography Springer Oceanography Series

This book commemorates the 70th birthday of Eugene Morozov, the noted Russian observational oceanographer. It contains many contributions reflecting his fields of interest, including but not limited to tidal internal waves, ocean circulation, deep ocean currents, and Arctic oceanography.

Special attention is paid to studies on internal waves and especially those on tidal internal waves in the Global Ocean. These papers describe the most important open problems concerning experimental studies of internal waves and their theoretical, numerical, and laboratory modeling.

Given its breadth of coverage, the book will appeal to anyone interested in a survey of ocean dynamics, ranging from historic perspectives to modern research topics.

Introduction.- Bio of EG Morozov.- Part I: The deep ocean currents/abyssal flows.- Part B: Flows under ice/Currents in fjords.- Part C: Internal waves in the oceans.- Part D: Internal waves in straits and their influence in the coastal regions and in the open sea.- Part E: Some striking aspects of freak and rogue waves in the ocean and straits.- Part F: Observational/experimental approach to flow phenomena; Global and Local circulation in the ocean and the straits.- Part G: Methodologies and innovative developments with relevance beyond oceanography; problems in data collection and analysis.
