Issued without a dust jacket. -- An examination of various instabilities within continuous media, exploring their underlying physics and applications in geophysics. The volume delves into the mechanisms driving such instabilities, including mathematical modelling, experimental studies, and theoretical analyses. It serves as a vital resource for geophysicists, physicists, and researchers interested in the dynamic behaviours of continuous media. -- Contents: Introduction by L.

Knopoff (et al.); Deterministic and Statistical Properties of the Westerlies by A. Speranza; The Charney-Stern Theorem on Barotropic-Baroclinic Instability by Arnt Eliassen -- Instabilities abound in geophysical systems described by non-linear fluid and solid mechanics. The field is reviewed here with contributions on the rotating and convecting fluid masses forming the oceans and planetary atmospheres, and on the solid Earth in which fault slip and earthquake instabilities occur. Topics include circulation in the Earth's weather system, baroclinic waves and instabilities, thermally driven zonal flows and jets in planetary atmospheres, and statistical stability of turbulent shear flows. Also, nonlinear wave interactions and nonlinear diffusion is examined. For the solid earth, results are reported on models for crack interaction and on the constitutive description of fault slip leading to earthquake instabilities. The notion of hydrodynamic instability was made fundamental to modern meteorology in large measure by the work of the late Jules Charney, to whom the book is dedicated and whose contributions are discussed in several of the articles within.…
