Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
In the last decade significant advances have been made in the field of optical oceanography. These include new techniques for in situ and remote sensing as well as theoretical advances in characterizing the underwater light field. In this book all new developments in the field - theoretical and experimental - are covered in thirteen original papers based on symposium lectures given at the University of Washington Friday Harbor Laboratory in 1976.
MoreLong description:
This volume covers the significant advances made in the field of optical oceanography over the last decade. It is the most complete description of the subject to date and is written in a format suitable for both researchers and students in oceanography, geophysics, biology, and biochemistry. An eclectic blend of information, the book covers the theories, experiments, and instrumentation that now characterize the ways in which optical oceanography is studied. The most significant element of the text is its interdisciplinary flavour. The reader is led from the physical concepts of radiative transfer, through the experimental techniques used in the lab' and at sea and process-oriented discussions of the biochemical mechanisms responsible for oceanic optical variability.
This most welcome publication is a collection of 13 papers written by some of the best known names in marine optics... a fine collection of papers, and a recommended read... Ocean Challenge
