Year: 2014 Language: english Author: David Pugh and Philip Woodworth Genre: Textbook Publisher: Cambridge University Press. Издание: Second edition published 2014 ISBN: 978-1-107-02819-7 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Number of pages: 395 Description: Sea levels change for many reasons and on many timescales, and extreme sea levels can result in catastrophic coastal flooding, such as the Katrina storm surge in 2005 or the Sumatra tsunami in 2004. As global sea level rises, and coastal populations increase, understanding sea-level processes becomes key to plan future coastal defence effectively. Ocean tides, storm surges, tsunamis, El Niño and the sea-level rise caused by climate change are among the processes explained in this book. Building on David Pugh’s classic graduate-level book Tides, Surges and Mean Sea-Level, this substantially updated and expanded full-colour book now incorporates major recent technological advances in the areas of satellite altimetry and other geodetic techniques (particularly GPS), tsunami science, measurement of mean sea level and analyses of extreme sea levels. The authors, both leading international experts, discuss how each surveying and measuring technique complements others in providing an understanding of present-day sea-level change and more reliable forecasts of future changes. Giving the how and the why of sea-level change on timescales from hours to centuries, this authoritative and exciting book is ideal for graduate students and researchers working in oceanography, marine engineering, geodesy, marine geology, marine biology and climatology. It will also be of key interest to coastal engineers and governmental policy-makers. Понимание Приливов, Больших волн, Цунами и изменений уровня моря.

Description: Sea levels change for many reasons and on many timescales, and extreme sea
levels can result in catastrophic coastal flooding, such as the Katrina storm
surge in 2005 or the Sumatra tsunami in 2004. As global sea level rises, and
coastal populations increase, understanding sea-level processes becomes key
to plan future coastal defence effectively.
Ocean tides, storm surges, tsunamis, El Niño and the sea-level rise caused
by climate change are among the processes explained in this book. Building on
David Pugh’s classic graduate-level book Tides, Surges and Mean Sea-Level,
this substantially updated and expanded full-colour book now incorporates
major recent technological advances in the areas of satellite altimetry and
other geodetic techniques (particularly GPS), tsunami science, measurement
of mean sea level and analyses of extreme sea levels. The authors, both leading
international experts, discuss how each surveying and measuring technique
complements others in providing an understanding of present-day sea-level
change and more reliable forecasts of future changes.
Giving the how and the why of sea-level change on timescales from hours
to centuries, this authoritative and exciting book is ideal for graduate students
and researchers working in oceanography, marine engineering, geodesy,
marine geology, marine biology and climatology. It will also be of key interest
to coastal engineers and governmental policy-makers.
