Most well known structures in planetary atmospheres and the
Earth s oceans are jets or fronts interacting with vortices on a
wide range of scales. The transition from one state to another,
such as in unbalanced or adjustment flows, involves the generation
of waves as well as the interaction of coherent structures with
these waves.
This book presents a fluid mechanics perspective to the dynamics
of fronts and vortices and their interaction with waves in
geophysical flows. It provides a basic physical background for
modeling coherent structures in a geophysical context, and it gives
essential information on advanced topics such as spontaneous wave
emission and wavemomentum transfer in geophysical flows.
Based on a set of lectures by leading specialists, this text is
targeted at graduate students, researchers and engineers in
geophysics and environmental fluid mechanics.
