Lagrangian transport in geophysical jets and waves [electronic resource] : the dynamical systems approach / R.M. Samelson, S. Wiggins.

This book provides an accessible introduction to a new set of methods for the analysis of Lagrangian motion in geophysical flows. These methods were originally developed in the abstract mathematical setting of dynamical systems theory, through a geometric approach to differential equations. Despite...
