  • Quand l'océan se fâche

    Histoire naturelle du climat

    Nous avons tous le sentiment que le temps « se détraque », et nous l'imputons aux civilisations urbaines et industrielles d'une population devenue trop nombreuse. Claude Duplessy montre que ce sentiment repose sur l'idée que le temps devrait rester invariable, au moins sur la courte durée. Or cette idée est erronée. Non seulement il y a une histoire des climats qui se succèdent à l'échelle ... Read more

  • Thermodynamics of Atmospheres and Oceans

    Atmospheric and climatological studies are becoming more and more important in day-to-day living. Winds and ocean current owe their existence to the thermodynamic imbalances that arise from the differential heating of the Earth and air by the sun. Accounting for heat exchanges with the atmosphere and ocean is essential in any predictive model of the ocean and/or atmosphere. Thermodynamic feedback ... Read more

  • Light Scattering by Nonspherical Particles

    Theory, Measurements, and Applications

    There is hardly a field of science or engineering that does not have some interest in light scattering by small particles.

  • Small Scale Processes in Geophysical Fluid Flows

    While ocean waves are the most visible example of oceanic mixing processes, this macroscale mixing process represents but one end of the spectrum of mixing processes operating in the ocean. At the scale of a typical phytoplanktoic diatom or larval fish inhabiting these seas, the most important mixing processes occur on the molecular scale - at the scale of turbulence. Physical-biological ... Read more

  • Numerical Models of Oceans and Oceanic Processes

    Oceans play a pivotal role in our weather and climate. Ocean-borne commerce is vital to our increasingly close-knit global community.
