| Abstract |
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; and finite amplitude barocline instability. |
