Geophysical fluid dynamics. II, Stratified/rotating fluid dynamics of the atmosphere-ocean [electronic resource] / Emin Özsoy.

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: 1. development of the equations of motion for an inhomogeneous fluid 2. review of thermodynamics 3. thermodynamic and kinetic...
