The volume discusses
The readership for this book will consist of academic and governmental researchers interested in exploring how oceanographic, atmospheric, and hydrological processes combine to establish the environmental setting that supports and drives the pelagic system and which are especially relevant to understanding the complex biogeochemical and ecological interactions in the Indian Ocean.
Jerry D. Wiggert and Raleigh R. Hood are the authors of Indian Ocean Biogeochemical Processes and Ecological Variability, published by Wiley.
