The Atmosphere and Ocean by Neil C Wells

The Atmosphere and Ocean by Neil C Wells

The Atmosphere and Ocean is a fully revised and updated student friendly physical introduction to the atmosphere and ocean. Now in its Third Edition, the book continues to provide students with an accessible description of the atmosphere and ocean with emphasis on their physical properties and inter-dependence.

“This book is commendable for attempting such an approach to educate a new generation of scientists armed with a unifying view of the ocean and atmosphereIt is a unique book for those who seek knowledge of not only ocean
or atmosphere but also their commonality, distinction, and interaction.”  (Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 1 November 2012)

"I highly recommend the comprehensive and readily understandable book The Atmosphere and Ocean: A Physical Introduction, 3rd Edition by Neil C. Wells, to any advanced undergraduate students in meteorology, climatology, oceanography, and earth sciences. The book is valuable as well as to any business leaders and public policy makers seeking an approachable book on the topic of the interdependency between the ocean and atmosphere. This book is an excellent and accessible textbook on the topic and should be given priority for anyone interested in learning and understanding the principles of the interrelationship between the planet's atmosphere and its ocean." (Blog Business World, 26 February 2012)
