Sea level science: tides, surges, and mean sea-level

During the past two decades, mainly as a result of developments in instrumental design and in computer science, considerable advances have been made in our understanding of tides and their related phenomena. This volume presents modern tidal ideas to those who are not tidal specialists, but who need some knowledge of tidal processes, including hydrographers, marine and coastal engineers, geologists of beach or marine sedimentation processes, and biologists. Mathematics is kept to a minimum, with non-mathematical discussion being developed in parallel. Includes North American and European examples.
