It is written as a textbook about the NIO for graduate students, lecturers, and researchers in physical oceanography. It will also be useful for courses on the interior, coastal, and equatorial dynamics in any other ocean. It helps readers, particularly new entrants to the field, to gain a comprehensive understanding of tropical-ocean dynamics by: developing from first principles the equation set for the linear continuously stratified (LCS) model, which has long been used to study tropical oceans; and then obtaining solutions that explore different aspects of the dynamics. Part 1 of the book provides an overview of observed ocean circulations and forcing functions in the NIO that are linked to the SAM.Part 2 develops the equations of motion for the LCS model. Part 3 (Free Waves) and Part 4 (Forced Solutions) derive and discuss analytic solutions to the LCS model that illustrate basic processes in the interior (unbounded), coastal, and equatorial regions of the ocean. The last two chapters of Part 4 consider more complicated processes and phenomena that build upon the simpler solutions previously found: vertical propagation of coastal and equatorial waves, and the Indian Ocean's shallow overturning circulations. Each analytic solution is illustrated (and extended) by a suite of numerical LCS solutions presented as video clips, providing a powerful means for visualizing complex processes.  aOceanography.  aPhysical geography.  aAtmospheric science.  aMathematical analysis.  aMathematicsxData processing.  aOcean Sciences.  aEarth System Sciences.  aAtmospheric Science.  aAnalysis.  aComputational Mathematics and Numerical Analysis.  aShetye, Satish R.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut  aSpringerLink (Online service)  tSpringer Nature eBook  iPrinted edition:z9789811958632  iPrinted edition:z9789811958656  iPrinted edition:z9789811958663  aAtmosphere, Earth, Ocean & Space,x2524-4418  uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-19-5864-9
