Marc Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 233-253) and index. Review Quotes: "Useful to scientists or students interested in ocean dynamical modelling, acoustic propagation modelling, and particularly to those interested in the union of these fields (which is likely to be become increasingly important)." --- Revue de livreTable of Contents: Contents: Introduction: Ocean Variability, Acoustic Propagation, and Coupled Models (A.
