Reviews
From the author's previous book, The Ocean Circulation Inverse Problem: ' ... written by an acknowledged master in the field.' The Times Higher Education Supplement
'Wunsch has met his objectives of producing an extensive discussion of finite-dimensional inverse methods applied to the ocean circulation inverse problem. Practitioners will find it an important contribution to their bookshelves ... a unique introduction to inverse methods with a healthy dose of critical scientific method.' Philip Bogden, American Meteorological Society Bulletin
'Wunsch has been a pioneer in adapting statistical methods from other scientific fields to oceanography ... A tremendous amount of experience is distilled in this book.' Kirk Bryan, Science
