Introduction to Physical Oceanography
by Robert H. Stewart
2008
Number of pages: 353

This book is written for upper-division undergraduates and new graduate students in meteorology, ocean engineering, and oceanography. Because these students have a diverse background, I have emphasized ideas and concepts more
than mathematical derivations.
