Special Issue on Mathematical Aspects of Physical Oceanography
On the Cover: This SeaWiFS image, constructed using data collected on June 13, 2002, highlights the presence of biological activity in the ocean west of British Columbia’s Queen Charlotte Islands and Alaska’s Alexander Archipelago. The bright red, green, and turquoise patches, which indicate high concentrations of chlorophyll, also make visible a number of eddies in the Pacific Ocean.
