The dynamics of flows in density-stratified fluids has been and
remains now an important topic for scientific enquiry. Such flows
arise in many contexts, ranging from industrial settings to the
oceanic and atmospheric environments. It is the latter topic which
is the focus of this book. Both the ocean and atmosphere are
characterised by the basic vertical density stratification, and
this feature can affect the dynamics on all scales ranging from the
micro-scale to the planetary scale. The aim of this book is to
provide a "state-of-the-art" account of stratified flows as they
are relevant to the ocean and atmosphere with a primary focus on
meso-scale phenomena; that is, on phenomena whose time and space
scales are such that the density stratification is a dominant
effect, so that frictional and diffusive effects on the one hand
and the effects of the earth's rotation on the other hand can be
regarded as of less importance. This in turn leads to an emphasis
on internal waves.
