Abstract
The preceding two parts of this book were dedicated to the description of the fundamentals of fluid mechanics (Part I), and oceanic physical processes of various scales, which are not usually considered in fluid mechanics textbooks (Part II). This later field of fluid mechanics is known as geophysical fluid mechanics (Cushman-Roisin, 1994).
