This book focuses on motions of incompressible ?uids of a freely
moving surface being in?uenced by both the Earth's rotation and
density strati?cation. In contrast to traditional textbooks in the
?eld of geophysical ?uid dynamics, such as those by by
Cushman-Roisin (1994) and Gill (1982), this book uses the method of
proce- oriented hydrodynamic modelling to illustrate a rich variety
of ?uid phenomena. To this end, the reader can adopt the model
codes, found on the Springer server accompanying this book, to
reproduce most graphs of this book and, even better, to create
animation movies. The reader can also employ the codes as templates
for own independent studies. This can be done by a lay person as a
hobby activity, undergraduate or postgraduate students as part of
their education, or professional scientists as part of research.
Exercises of this book are run with open-source software that can
be freely downloaded from the Internet. This includes the FORTRAN
95 compiler "G95" used for execution of model simulations, the data
visualisation program "SciLab", and "ImageMagick" for the creation
of graphs and GIF animations, which can be watched with most
Internet browsers.
