The atmosphere and ocean are two of the most important components
of the climate system, and fluid dynamics is central to our
understanding of both. This book provides a unified and
comprehensive treatment of the field that blends classical results
with modern interpretations. It takes the reader seamlessly from
the basics to the frontiers of knowledge, from the equations of
motion to modern theories of the general circulation of the
atmosphere and ocean. These concepts are illustrated throughout the
book with observations and numerical examples. As well as updating
existing chapters, this full-color second edition includes new
chapters on tropical dynamics, El Nino, the stratosphere and
gravity waves. Supplementary resources are provided online,
including figures from the book and problem sets, making this new
edition an ideal resource for students in the atmospheric, oceanic
and climate sciences, as well as in applied mathematics and
engineering.
