Zonal Jets : Phenomenology, Genesis, and Physics Hardback
Edited by Boris (University of South Florida) Galperin, Peter L. (University of Oxford) Read
Hardback
Description
In recent decades, great progress has been made in our understanding of zonal jets across many subjects - atmospheric science, oceanography, planetary science, geophysical fluid dynamics, plasma physics, magnetohydrodynamics, turbulence theory - but communication between researchers from different fields has been weak or non-existent.
Even the terminology in different fields may be so disparate that researchers working on similar problems do not understand each other.
This comprehensive, multidisciplinary volume will break cross-disciplinary barriers and aid the advancement of the subject.
It presents a state-of-the-art summary of all relevant branches of the physics of zonal jets, from the leading experts.
The phenomena and concepts are introduced at a level accessible to beginning graduate students and researchers from different fields.
The book also includes a very extensive bibliography.
