La quatrième de couv. indique : "Il couvre 70 % de la surface du globe, régule en grande partie le climat de la Terre et abrite une multitude d'espèces dont de très nombreuses sont encore à découvrir. L'océan joue un rôle majeur dans le fonctionnement de la vie sur Terre. Avec le changement global, ont émergé de multiples enjeux dont les conséquences à venir engagent toute l'humanité. Il s'agit dans ce livre de mieux comprendre ce qu'est l'océan, dans toute son étendue, sa profondeur et sa complexité, tant du point de vue physique que biologique, de ses interactions que de ses dynamiques. Pour l'explorer, de nombreux outils, infrastructures et approches originales sont développés pour obtenir les données et les informations indispensables à une meilleure connaissance. L'histoire montre l'évolution des techniques et des représentations qui lient les communautés humaines aux océans et la diversité des usages qu'elles en font. Considéré comme ressource, service ou enjeu de territoire, l'océan est essentiel, mais vulnérable. De multiples risques lui sont associés, de la submersion à la pollution, et leur gestion nécessite d'être anticipée face à l'augmentation des activités humaines. Ainsi se pose la question de l'avenir de l'océan, cet espace considéré souvent comme infini et illimité, qualifié de géostratégie par les uns et de bien commun par d'autres. Avec ses 135 articles, cet ouvrage, qui mobilise près de 160 chercheurs et spécialistes, est un ouvrage de référence. Il vient éclairer les enjeux actuels liés à l'océan et en résonnance avec les objectifs du développement durable de l'ONU. Comprendre et proposer des solutions, telle est son intention."

A systematic, unifying approach to the dynamics of the ocean and atmosphere is given in this book, with emphasis on the larger-scale motions (from a few kilometers to global scale). The foundations of the subject (the equations of state and dynamical equations) are covered in some detail, so that students with training in mathematics should find it a self-contained text. Knowledge of fluid mechanics is helpful but not essential. Simple mathematical models are used to demonstrate the fundamental dynamical principles with plentiful illustrations from field and laboratory.

The book is conceived at two levels. An introductory one intended for undergraduate and/or environmental studies students and the other (in the appendix) for advanced students (graduate). The book is different from others on the same subject which are either too descriptive or too much specialized. Beside there are large sections on biogeochemistry not usually found in other textbooks. Whenever possible an approach based on entropy considerations is introduced. The book includes a quite classical introduction to the thermodynamics of ocean and atmosphere, then the circulation of the ocean and atmosphere, the connection climate-chemistry with main emphasis on the carbon dioxide problem. The chemistry is also considered in connection with the polluted atmosphere and ocean and particulate in the atmosphere . A chapter is dedicated to the biogeochemical cycles which are solved both with the integration of a system of equations or matrix algebra. An original chapter is dedicated to sea-atmosphere interactions which includes the monsoons meteorology, hurricanes and the ENSO phenomena. Finally a concise description of the fluid environments in the Solar System is given.
