The second edition of Ocean Circulation and Climate is an up-to-date summary of the state of the science relating to the role of the oceans in the physical climate system. The book is structured to guide the reader through the analysis, interpretation, modeling, and synthesis of ocean climate phenomena, with extensive cross-referencing between chapters and a comprehensive index.

This book will be of value to those interested in the global oceans, in climate variability and change, and in the oceanic uptake of anthropogenic carbon, particularly oceanographers, meteorologists, and other climate scientists.

• Presents in situ and remote observations with worldwide coverage;
• Provides theoretical understanding of processes within the ocean and at its boundaries to other Earth System components; and
• Allows for simulating ocean and climate processes in the past, present and future using a hierarchy of physical-biogeochemical models
