INTRODUCTION TO PHYSICAL OCEANOGRAPHY George L. Mellor Originally published by the American Institute of Physics, the book is now on sale by SpringerVerlag New York Inc. Instructors wishing solutions to some of the problems can have them by request from Ms. Johann Callan AOS Program Forrestal Campus Princeton University Princeton NJ 08544-0710 ERRATA in FIRST PRINTING and corrected in SECOND PRINTING p.7 Both figures are for temperature, the left figure is an expanded scale of the right figure. The salinity is missing. p.58 In eqns (4-3a,b), replace g with g/(rho sub zero). p.94 In eqn (6-24b), the left side should be preceded by a minus sign. p.107 In Prob. 6-6, the right side should be preceded by a minus sign. p.155 In eqn (9-22a) kz should be kx. p.205 In Table 11-3. The dimension (10-4s-1) should move left one column. p.232 Delete "and Absolute Coordinate Acceleration" from first line. p.232 In Figure B-3 caption. "vertorial" should be "vectorial". ERRATA in FIRST PRINTING which remain in SECOND PRINTING p. 82 Problem 5-8 line 4: divide stress by density. p. 90 First equation: divide rhs by beta. p. 93 Negate rhs of (6-23) p. 94 Definition following (6-24b): divide rhs by density. p. 94 Equation 6-25 divide stress by density and delete - sign. p. 95 & 96 The signs before R in (6-27),(6-28),(6-29) and the eqn preceeding (6-29) should be reversed. p. 95 Equation 6-26 swap x and y in the bottom of the terms in the lower left of the rhs p. 95 Equation 6-27b partial of surface height wrt y p. 100 Put hat over x in cos arguement p. 103 Equation 6-43 negate rhs. p. 105 Problem 6-1 second equation: stress zx and zy instead of 0x and 0y. p. 106 Problem 6-2 second equation: rhs should be positive p. 106 Problem 6-3 fourth line: missing pi. Appendix D line below equation D-1: replace b with beta Appendix D equation D-8: third term wrt y hat. Appendix D first equation under "Matching Conditions" second line: add superscript tilde. Appendix D second equation under "Matching Conditions" second term: coefficient x hat not x tilde and derivative wrt 0x tilde not 0x.
