This volume contains 10 chapters and two short communications that describe recent research in physical oceanography, with a focus on the influence of ocean circulation on climate, especially El Niño's effects on tropical and European climates. They discuss such topics as ocean circulation and mesoscale ocean dynamics derived from satellite altimetry; global three-dimensional thermohaline circulation and its influence on climate; seasonal cycle variations on the supercontinent of Pangaea; modal decomposition for ocean circulation; temporal variability of the Florida Current Transport; the long-term consequences of increased El Niños in the Chilean semiarid zone; the impact of climate variability on agriculture; and the effects of El Niño on marine life in North America. Contributors work in geological sciences, marine sciences, biology, and other sciences in Europe, the US, Chile, and Israel. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
