Geophysical fluid dynamics examines the dynamics of stratified and
turbulent motion of fluids in the ocean and outer core, and of
gases in the atmosphere. This book explains key notions and
fundamental processes of the dynamics of large- and medium-scale
atmospheric and oceanic motions from the unifying viewpoint of the
rotating shallow water model. The model plays a distinguished role
in geophysical fluid dynamics. It has been used for about a century
for conceptual understanding of various phenomena, for elaboration
of approaches and methods to be used later in more complete models,
for development and testing of numerical codes, and for many other
purposes. In spite of its simplicity, the model grasps essential
features of the complete "primitive equations" models, being their
vertically averaged version, and gives an intuitive representation
and clear vision of principal dynamical processes. This book is a
combination of a course on geophysical fluid dynamics (Part 1),
with explanations and illustrations of fundamentals, and problems,
as well as a more advanced treatise of a range of principal
dynamical phenomena (Part 2), including recently arisen approaches
and applications (Part 3). Mathematics and physics underlying
dynamical phenomena are explained, with necessary demonstrations.
Yet, an important goal of the book is to develop the reader's
physical intuition and qualitative insights.
