A NOAA AVHRR image of the Gulf of Mexico on
March 19, 1995. A large anticyclonic warm core eddy shed by the
Loop Current and strong wintertime cooling of the water column on
the U.S. continental shelf are depicted. It is a challenge to simulate
and accurately forecast the processes responsible for these features
in numerical ocean models, the subject matter of this book. (Photo
