A fully systematic treatment of the dynamics of vortex structures
and their interactions in a viscous density stratified fluid is
provided by this book. The various compact vortex structures such
as monopoles, dipoles, quadrupoles, as well as more complex ones
are considered theoretically from a physical point of view.
Another essential feature of the book is the close combination of
theoretical analyses with numerous examples of real flows.
The book further provides real physical insight and base for
postgraduate students specializing in geophysical and applied fluid
dynamics. Among the family of vortex structures considered in the
book, the most remarkable are the vortex dipoles. These are
fundamental elements of the complex chaotic flows associated with
the term 'two-dimensional turbulence'. The appearance of these
structures in initially chaotic flows is currently of great
interest because of a myriad of geophysical applications. Specific
examples include the mushroom-like currents discovered from
satellite images of the upper ocean. The book is well illustrated
with many original photographs (some in colour) and diagrams.
