Three-Dimensional Models of Marine and Estuarine Dynamics

J.C.J. Nihoul and B.M. Jamart (Eds.)0444427945, 9780444427946

These proceedings represent the most recent and complete state of the art review of three-dimensional models of the modern generation for the study of marine hydrodynamics and management of the marine system. The book is well illustrated by application to well-documented case studies.
