This book explains key notions and fundamental processes of the dynamics of large- and medium-scale atmospheric and oceanic motions from the unifying viewpoint of the rotating shallow water model. The model plays a distinguished role in geophysical fluid dynamics. It has been used for about a century for conceptual understanding\n\u003cbr\u003eof various phenomena, for elaboration of approaches and methods to be used later in more complete models, for development and testing of numerical codes, and for many other purposes. In spite of its\n\u003cbr\u003esimplicity, the model grasps essential features of the complete 'primitive equations' models, being their vertically averaged version, and gives an intuitive representation and clear vision of principal dynamical processes.This book is a combination of a course on geophysical fluid dynamics (Part 1), with explanations and illustrations of fundamentals, and problems, as well as a more advanced treatise of a range of principal dynamical phenomena (Part 2), including recently\n\u003cbr\u003earisen approaches and applications (Part 3). Mathematics and physics underlying dynamical phenomena are explained, with necessary demonstrations. Simultaneously, an important goal of the book is to\n\u003cbr\u003edevelop the reader's physical intuition and qualitative insights.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46059163713774,"sku":"9780198933663","price":83.77,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780198933663.jpg?v=1736492590","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/geophysical-fluid-dynamics-understanding-almost-everything-with-rotating-shallow","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
