Back to Main Page...

Text

Page 140: Correct spelling of William Ferrel.

Page 141: Insert Swedish-US meteorologist Carl Gustav-Rossby...

Page 148, Should mention trade winds in association with Hadley cell surface flows towards the equator.

Page 156: Correction, insert "in" in 12th line, i.e., Gilbert Walker became interested in the Indian Ocean

Figures

Figure 8-23: For a larger version of this figure and more data, see the World Ocean Atlas 2005, http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/OC5/WOA05F/woa05f.html

Figure 8-26, Add N to top right side and S to top left side to indicate North and South ends of basins; also add text to caption indicating depth in meters, degrees in Celsius, and salinity in PSU. Click here for revised figure.

Tables

Table 8.1, Correct percentage under heading of Ocean, should be 3.5% (not 2.5%)

Table 8.3, Item 3, should be capital omega (shown as small omega, see previous equation) in phrase, "...where omega is the rotation rate."
