Geophysical fluid dynamics
Pedlosky, Joseph
Geophysical fluid dynamics - 2nd ed. - New York: Springer, 1979 - xiv, 710p.; with 198 ill. Pbk.
Table of contents:
Preliminaries
Fundamentals
Inviscid Shallow-Water Theory
Friction and Viscous Flow
Homogeneous Models of the Wind-Driven Oceanic Circulation
Quasigeostrophic Motion of a Stratified Fluid on a Sphere
Instability Theory
Ageostrophic Motion
This second edition of the widely acclaimed Geophysical Fluid Dynamics by Joseph Pedlosky offers the reader a high-level, unified treatment of the theory of the dynamics of large-scale motions of the oceans and atmosphere. Revised and updated, it includes expanded discussions of * the fundamentals of geostrophic turbulence * the theory of wave-mean flow interaction * thermocline theory * finite amplitude barocline instability.
