Description for Quasi-Geostrophic Theory of Oceans and Atmosphere
Hardback. This book contains a detailed presentation of mathematical computations. It uses a main unifying technique (asymptotic expansion based on scale analysis) throughout the book to develop various applications. Series: Atmospheric and Oceanographic Sciences Library. Num Pages: 386 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHDF; PHH; RBKC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 25. Weight in Grams: 760.
Large-scale winds and currents tend to balance Coriolis and pressure gradient forces. The time evolution of these winds and currents is the subject of the quasi-geostrophic theory.
Chapter 1 presents concepts and equations of classical inertial fluid mechanics.
Chapter 2 deals with the equations of thermodynamics that close the governing equations of the fluids. Then, the motion is reformulated in a uniformly rotating reference frame.
Chapter 3 deals with the shallow-water model and the homogeneous model of wind-driven circulation. The chapter also describes a classical application of the Ekman layer to the atmosphere.
Chapter 4 considers ... Read more
