Fronts, Waves and Vortices in Geophysical Flows (Lecture by Jan-Bert Flor

By Jan-Bert Flor

Most popular constructions in planetary atmospheres and the Earth’s oceans are jets or fronts interacting with vortices on a variety of scales. The transition from one kingdom to a different, akin to in unbalanced or adjustment flows, comprises the new release of waves in addition to the interplay of coherent constructions with those waves.


This e-book provides a fluid mechanics standpoint to the dynamics of fronts and vortices and their interplay with waves in geophysical flows. It presents a simple actual heritage for modeling coherent constructions in a geophysical context, and it supplies crucial info on complex themes reminiscent of spontaneous wave emission and wavemomentum move in geophysical flows.


Based on a suite of lectures via major experts, this article is concentrated at graduate scholars, researchers and engineers in geophysics and environmental fluid mechanics.
