9780133533019: Introduction to Geophysical Fluid Dynamics

Synopsis

This volume provides an introductory-level exploration of geophysical fluid dynamics -- with a focus on the physics, not the mathematics. Explores special contemporary topics of climate dynamics and equatorial dynamics -- e.g., the greenhouse effect, global warming, El Niño, Southern oscillation; provides an appendix on waves; includes short biographies of important scientists; and contains simple and complex laboratory demonstrations. For students and researchers in environmental fluid dynamics, and for practicing biologists, atmospheric chemists and engineers.
