Editorial Reviews
The publisher, Prentice-Hall Engineering/Science/Mathematics
This is the first and only introductory-level text available on geophysical fluid dynamics.

From the Back Cover
This volume provides an introductory-level exploration of geophysical fluid dynamics -- with a focus on the physics, not the mathematics. Explores special contemporary topics of climate dynamics and equatorial dynamics -- e.g., the greenhouse effect, global warming, El Niño, Southern oscillation; provides an appendix on waves; includes short biographies of important scientists; and contains simple and complex laboratory demonstrations. For students and researchers in environmental fluid dynamics, and for practicing biologists, atmospheric chemists and engineers.
