Nonlinear Physical Oceanography: A Dynamical Systems Approach to the Large Scale Ocean Circulation and El Niño, - Hardcoverby Henk A. Dijkstra (Author) This graduate and research level book applies the methodology of dynamical systems theory to investigate the physics of the global ocean circulation, e. g. the dynamics of the Gulf Stream and the El Nio Southern Oscillation phenomenon. It also deals with the numerical methods for applying bifurcation analysis on large dimensional dynamical systems, which arise through discretization of ocean models. Systematic analysis
