Classical Mechanics in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This advanced text links classical mechanics to geophysical fluid dynamics, as with the precession of the earth, oceanic tides, and the retreat of the moon from the earth owing to the tidal friction. Now with a new chapter on gravity waves and more on geophysical fluid dynamics.
