Data Analysis Methods in Physical Oceanography 4th Edition

Data Analysis Methods in Physical Oceanography, 4th Edition by Richard E. Thomson and William J. Emery is the definitive, modern reference for scientists, engineers, and students who turn complex oceanographic measurements into reliable insight. Clear, rigorous, and richly illustrated, this edition brings together established theory and practical techniques for analyzing time series, spectra, and spatial fields common to sea level, currents, waves, and circulation studies.

Discover step‑by‑step approaches to spectral analysis, filtering, interpolation, error estimation, and statistical significance that make noisy ocean data usable for research and operational decisions. Realistic examples and worked problems demonstrate methods applied to real-world datasets — valuable whether you’re modeling coastal processes on the US West Coast, assessing tidal signals in the North Sea, or studying climatic variability across the Pacific and Indian Oceans.

Engineered for accessibility, the book balances mathematical rigor with practical guidance so graduate students and busy practitioners can apply methods immediately. Emphasis on robust, reproducible analysis helps environmental consultants, coastal managers, and climate researchers produce trustworthy results for publication and policy.

If you need a single, authoritative source for oceanographic data analysis, this updated fourth edition is indispensable. Practical, comprehensive, and globally relevant, it equips you to turn measurements into discovery. Order your copy today and strengthen your analytical toolkit for the geographies and challenges of modern physical oceanography.
