Description
Taylor & Francis Ltd Adiabatic Invariants In Large-Scale Atmospheric Dynamics by Michael V. Kurgansky
This Book Deals With The Main Principles Of Large-Scale Atmospheric Dynamics On The Basis Of Adiabatic Motion Constants. It Can Be Considered As An Introduction To The Theory Of Quasi Two-Dimensional Fluid Motion Concentrating Primarily On Nearly Horizontal Fluid Parcel Displacements In A Stably Stratified Compressible Fluid. A Thorough Mathematical Treatment Of The Governing Equations Is Coupled With A Clear Interpretation Of The Phenomena Studied And Accompanied By Examples Of Real Meteorological Data Analysis. Topics Include A Complete Set Of Compressible Fluid Dynamic Equations Along With A Survey On Fluid Dynamical Conservation Laws Used In Meteorology And Atmospheric Physics; The Derivation Of Two-Dimensional Atmospheric Models; Large-Scale Flows; Isentropic Analysis Of Large-Scale Atmospheric Processes; And The Principles Of Kinetic Energy Sinks And Their Relation To The Energy Balance In The Atmosphere.
