| Summary, etc | This book develops a fundamental understanding of geophysical fluid dynamics based on a mathematical description of the flows of inhomogeneous fluids. It covers these topics:<br/><br/>1. development of the equations of motion for an inhomogeneous fluid <br/>2. review of thermodynamics<br/><br/>3. thermodynamic and kinetic energy equations<br/>4. equations of state for the atmosphere and the ocean, salt, and moisture effects<br/><br/>5. concepts of potential temperature and potential density<br/><br/>6. Boussinesq and quasi-geostrophic approximations<br/>7. conservation equations for vorticity, mechanical and thermal energy instability theories, internal waves, mixing, convection, double-diffusion, stratified turbulence, fronts, intrusions, gravity currents<br/><br/>Graduate students will be able to learn and apply the basic theory of geophysical fluid dynamics of inhomogeneous fluids on a rotating earth, including:<br/><br/>1. derivation of the governing equations for a stratified fluid starting from basic principles of physics<br/><br/>2. review of thermodynamics, equations of state, isothermal, adiabatic, isentropic changes<br/><br/>3. scaling of the equations, Boussinesq approximation, applied to the ocean and the atmosphere<br/><br/>4. examples of stratified flows at geophysical scales, steady and unsteady motions, inertia-gravity internal waves, quasi-geostrophic theory<br/><br/>5. vorticity and energy conservation in stratified fluids<br/><br/>6.boundary layer convection in stratified containers and basins |
