Physical principles fundamental to the theoretical, observational, and experimental study of the atmosphere and oceans; the equations of motion for rotating fluids; hydrostatic and Boussinesq ...

At this point these two forces are in a geostrophic balance, such that the air continues in an approximately straight line with no net acceleration in either direction (see Figure 1 ...

Some topics, for example geostrophic adjustment, are more clearly explained and are better physically motivated here than in any other text I have read. This book should not only be on the shelves of ...

Nadiga, B. T. and Livescu, D. 2007. Instability of the perfect subgrid model in implicit-filtering large eddy simulation of geostrophic turbulence. Physical Review E ...

Possible topics include wave-mean flow interaction and nonacceleration theorems, critical levels, quasigeostrophic instabilities, topographically and thermally forced stationary waves, theories for ...
