The Guide to Storm Surge Forecasting by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) offers crucial insights into the prediction and understanding of storm surges, which occur when ocean water levels rise due to severe weather, such as tropical storms. The book explains the scientific processes behind the development of storm surges, the forecasting techniques used to predict them, and the vario…
The Snellius-II Expedition details a major scientific research effort led by Indonesian and Dutch scientists to investigate the marine and geological environments of the Indonesian region. The book presents the outcomes of this expedition, which focused on oceanographic and geophysical studies, including marine life, ocean currents, and geological features. It explains the methods used to gathe…
The book starts with features of island life, the nature of communities and of species on isolated islands considered against the background of the geological history of islands and of general biogeography. The two main sections of the book treat the numbers of species on islands and the evolutionary processes leading to new species. The final section is a tentative analysis of species interact…

The earthquakes and tsunamis of 26 December 2004 and 28 March 2005 had tragic consequences for northern and western Sumatra and nearby islands. So many lives were lost, and so much was destroyed or damaged by these massive disasters. Yet they also generated never-before-seen natural phenomena, attracting scientists from around the world to come and investigate. This book presents the results…
Will it Rain? is a book for agricultural advisers, government planners, students or anyone interested in the weather and seasonal forecasting. It explains the Southern Oscillation and El Ni?o terms often used by the popular media without a full understanding. The book describes: - what causes the weather over Indonesia - the Southern Oscillation and how it influences seasonal weather - ho…

The main purpose of this handbook is to educate FASI's UAS/Remote pilots that they should know how actual pilots flying planes. We believe that anyone flying an UAS should aware of the airspace and rules that come with it. This handbook is mainly a reminder to us pilots, and has plenty of information most UAS Pilots wouldn't know or even expect.

Created by the Japan Industrial Conference for Ozone Layer Protection, this manual presents various strategies, technological alternatives, and policy measures designed to reduce the environmental impact of ozone-de…
In Introduction to Environmental Fluid Dynamics, Stephan Pfahl introduces the fundamental principles of fluid dynamics within environmental systems. The book explores the movement of fluids in natural environments such as the atmosphere, rivers, oceans, and ecosystems. It discusses key concepts in fluid motion, transport processes, and how fluids interact with their surroundings, with a focus o…
Geosci 233: Physical Oceanography presents a thorough overview of the fundamental physical principles that govern oceanic behavior. The book examines crucial oceanographic phenomena such as ocean currents, waves, and tides, and explores the dynamic interactions between the atmosphere and the oceans. It discusses the mechanics behind ocean circulation, the thermohaline system, and the oceans' cr…
Geophysical Fluid Dynamics for Oceanographers by Joseph J. Von Schwin offers a detailed exploration of fluid dynamics principles in the context of oceanography. The book examines how fluid behaves in geophysical environments, particularly within Earth's oceans. It delves into key topics such as ocean currents, waves, and large-scale circulation patterns, emphasizing their impact on both oceanic…
