Preface
convection model, a problem that neither of us could resolve at that time. I have
included such a model in this book. Other invaluable sources of motivation behind
this work are the classical books of Henry Stommel, namely “An Introduction to the
Coriolis Force” published in 1989 and co-authored by Dennis Moore, and “A View
of the Sea”, published in 1987. Similar to the approach I take here, Stommel’s work
underpins theory with computer programs, written in BASIC, that can be run by the
reader for illustration of dynamical processes.
