This highly relevant text documents the first international meeting focused specifically on high-resolution atmospheric and oceanic modeling. It was held recently at the Earth Simulator Center in Yokohama, Japan. Rather than producing a standard conference proceedings volume, the editors have decided to compose this volume entirely of papers written by invited speakers at the meeting, who report on their most exciting recent results involving high resolution modeling.

A great utility to the international oceanographic, climate research, and operational communities. This volume provides a global analysis of oceanographic data focusing on oxygen. Contains maps of dissolved oxygen, oxygen saturation, and Apparent Oxygen Utilization at selected standard levels of the world ocean on a one -degree grid. Basin zonal averages and basin volume averages are computed from objectively analyzed fields and are presented in the form of figures and tables.
