Geophysical Fluid Dynamics

Beschreibung

For the dynamics of large and medium scale motions in the oceans and the atmosphere, a simplified rotating shallow water model, obtained by vertical averaging, is used throughout the book in order to explain the fundamentals, and to give in-depth treatment of important dynamical processes.

Autor

Vladimir Zeitlin graduated from Dnipropetrovsk University (Ukraine) in 1976, and gained his PhD in theoretical and mathematical physics in 1980 from the Physical Institute (Moscow). Trained as a theoretical physicist, he moved his focus to geophysical fluid dynamics in the early 1980s. He worked at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (Moscow) on vortex dynamics, wave-vortex interactions and turbulence. Later, after moving to France, Zeitlin joined the Laboratory of Dynamical Meteorology and then became Professor at the University P. and M. Curie (now Sorbonne University) and École Normale Supérieure (Paris).
