This book grew out of lectures on geophysical fluid dynamics
delivered over many years at the Moscow Institute of Physics and
Technology by the author (and, with regard to some parts of the
book, by his colleagues). During these lectures the students were
advised to read many books, and sometimes individual articles, in
order to acquaint themselves with the necessary material, since
there was no single book available which provided a sufficiently
complete and systematic account (except, perhaps, the volumes on
Hydrophysics of the Ocean, Hydrodynamics of the Ocean, and
Geodynamics in the ten-volume Oceanology series published by Nauka
Press in 1978-1979; these refer, however, specifically to the
ocean, and anyway they are much too massive to be convenient for
study by students). As far as we know, no text corresponding to our
understanding of geophysical fluid dynamics has as yet been
published outside the Soviet Union. The present book is designed to
fill this gap. Since it is customary to write the preface after the
entire book has been completed, the author has an opportunity there
to raise some points of possible criticism by the reviewers and
readers. First of all, note that this work presents the theoretical
fundamentals of geophysical fluid dynamics, and that observational
and experimental data (which in the natural sciences are always
very copious) are referred to only rarely and briefly.
