This book gives a comprehensive presentation of the underlying oceanography and mathematics necessary to understand and develop a practical system of transmitters and receivers to interpret the behavior of the oceans. It covers the forward and inverse tomography problem, as well as numerous models for data interpretation. Also included is an epilogue outlining the history of tomographic techniques. It should prove a valuable resource to oceanographers and climatologists, as well as applied mathematicians and engineers interested in applications of fluid mechanics tools.Peter Worcester is the author of 'Ocean Acoustic Tomography (Cambridge Monographs on Mechanics)', published 1995 under ISBN 9780521470957 and ISBN 0521470951.
