Sections dealing with difficult physical and chemical concepts have been developed on the basis of feedback from the first edition, making this an ideal learning tool for oceanography students.Chapter 1 summarizes the special properties of water and the role of the oceans in the hydraulic cycle. The distribution of temperature and salinity in the oceans and how they influence water density and movements is then discussed. Light and sound in seawater are considered next, along with some uses of acoustics. These are followed by an examination of the composition and behaviour of dissolved constituents, including such topics as residence times, the control of pH, and redox relationships.Finally, the history of seawater and its role in global cycles is reviewed, with special reference to climatic change and the CO2 problem.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eWater, air and ice\u003cbr\u003e Temperature in the oceans\u003cbr\u003e Salinity in the oceans\u003cbr\u003e Density and pressure in the oceans\u003cbr\u003e Light and sound in seawater\u003cbr\u003e The seawater solution\u003cbr\u003e Seawater and the global cycle\u003cbr\u003e Suggested further reading\u003cbr\u003e Answers and comments to questions.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Sanitary \u0026amp; municipal engineering [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Sanitary \u0026amp; municipal engineering\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Sanitary%20\u0026amp;%20municipal%20engineering%20%5BTQS%5D%22\"\u003eTQS\u003c\/a\u003e], Geography [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Geography\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Geography%20%5BRG%5D%22\"\u003eRG\u003c\/a\u003e], Oceanography [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Oceanography\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Oceanography%20%5Bseas%5D%20%5BRBKC%5D%22\"\u003eseas RBKC\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Butterworth-Heinemann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46648240734488,"sku":"9780750637152","price":37.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780750637152.jpg?v=1694089567","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/seawater-its-composition-properties-and-behaviour-paperback-9780750637152","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
