An Introduction to Ocean Climate Modeling

  • Chapter
Global Climate

  • 243 Accesses

Abstract

This chapter introduces some of the science of numerical ocean climate modeling. The discussion pedagogical and self-contained, thus requiring little previous knowledge of numerical ocean modeling. It is geared towards the science, engineering, and/or mathematics student or researcher who wishes to garner a sense of the goals, methods, and some details of ocean climate modeling. Notably, it only presents a small hint at the large body of literature which supports the field of climate modeling. To do more justice would require many textbooks.
