This comprehensive book delves into a wide range of ocean processes, encompassing wave phenomena such as surface, internal gravitational, and acoustic waves. It also explores the influence of surfactants and pollutants on the dynamic behavior of the aquatic environment, the models of stratified natural environments, convective phenomena in the ocean, and the intricate interplay between wave and convective processes. Furthermore, the book dedicates a significant section to addressing unsolved problems in the physics of anomalous waves.

Throughout the chapters, the most dominant theories are presented, while alternative viewpoints are introduced to challenge conventional thinking. The mathematical models employed are thoroughly justified at both the physical and formal mathematical levels. In all known limiting cases, they lead to well-known classical results that are in excellent agreement with experimental data.

Several sections showcase the practical applications of the developed approaches to describe natural phenomena. This book appeals to specialists in ocean physics, as well as undergraduate and graduate students pursuing studies in marine physics and oceanography.
