Waves in the ocean
Paul H. LeBlond, Lawrence A. Mysak (Author)
Presents broad review ranging from capillary to planetary waves, with emphasis on modern developments and with graduate-level exercises at end of most sections. Introduces basic equations, approximations, and general properties of plane and nearly-plane waves. Three chapters on free waves cover short wavelengths, long wavelengths, and lateral boundary effects. Remaining chapters cover: statistical and probabilistic methods; wave interactions; wave-current interactions (critical layer absorption and stability of parallel flows); and generation and dissipation of waves
