Publisher's Synopsis
This work explains the fundamentals and capabilities of modelling processes and demonstrates the theory behind the physics, chemistry and biology of the marine environment. With the use of worked examples and box models, the principles described in the first section are applied to modelling processes of different scales, including ocean and continental shelf modelling, and diffusion and ecosystem modelling. This modelling text should be of interest to environmental scientists and engineers. It is also designed to enable students to understand the principles involved in modelling without the need of programming. It assumes no understanding of advanced mathematics.
