Description for Physics of Lakes
paperback. This volume examines lakes as oscillators. It covers barotropic and baroclinic waves in homogeneous and stratified lakes on the rotating Earth, presents a classification of rotating shallow-water waves and describes Kelvin-type and Poincare-type waves. Series: Advances in Geophysical and Environmental Mechanics and Mathematics. Num Pages: 714 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHD; PHVG; PSAF; RB. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 155 x 36. Weight in Grams: 1080.
The overwhelming focus of this 2nd volume of “Physics of Lakes” is adequately expressed by its subtitle “Lakes as Oscillators”. It deals with barotropic and baroclinic waves in homogeneous and stratified lakes on the rotating Earth and comprises 12 chapters, starting with rotating shallow-water waves, demonstrating their classification into gravity and Rossby waves for homogeneous and stratified water bodies. This leads to gravity waves in bounded domains of constant depth, Kelvin, Poincaré and Sverdrup waves, reflection of such waves in gulfs and rectangles and their description in sealed basins as barotropic ‘inertial waves proper’. The particular application to gravity waves ... Read more
