Lectures on Geophysical Fluid Dynamics

Zusatztext 'The book provides an excellent course for graduate students in applied mathematics or mathematical oceanography or meterology. It can be used fruitfully by researchers in related areas who would like to learn about a field of physics that generates intriguing and cha!lenging mathematical problems...It is also likely to become a significant reference book for the subject' SIAM Review Klappentext ^ILectures on Geophysical Fluid Dynamics^R offers an introduction to several topics in geophysical fluid dynamics, including the theory of large-scale ocean circulation, geostrophic turbulence, and Hamiltonian fluid dynamics. Since each chapter is a self-contained introduction to its particular topic, the book will be useful to students and researchers in diverse scientific fields.
