Excellent- More about Classical Mechanics in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
The book discusses the motions of rigid bodies and their applications to geophysics, such as the precessions of the Earth, oceanic tides, and the retreat of the Moon from the Earth due to tidal friction. It has been revised to include a new chapter on gravity waves, geostrophic turbulence, and the Euler angles, precession and nutation of a Lagrange top, Rayleigh–Bénard convection, and the Ekman flow. It is suitable for geophysics, meteorology, and oceanography students, as well as a general textbook on geophysical fluid dynamics.

This new edition of Classical Mechanics in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics delves into the intricate movements of rigid bodies, showcasing the profound significance of classical mechanics in the realm of geophysics. By examining the precessions of the Earth, oceanic tides, and the moon's retreat from the Earth due to tidal friction, the book illustrates how classical mechanics plays a crucial role in understanding the dynamic behavior of our planet. Unlike more general mechanics textbooks, this edition offers a distinctive and captivating presentation of these applications, making it an invaluable resource for students seeking to delve into the world of geophysical fluid dynamics.
The coverage of geophysical fluid dynamics has undergone a comprehensive revision, encompassing a new chapter dedicated to various types of gravity waves, a dedicated section on geostrophic turbulence, and extensive new material on the Euler angles, the precession and nutation of a Lagrange top, Rayleigh–Bénard convection, and the Ekman flow. These revisions ensure that the textbook remains up-to-date with the latest developments in the field, providing students with a comprehensive understanding of the complex dynamics that govern the Earth's systems.
Designed specifically for senior undergraduate and graduate students, this textbook serves as a comprehensive guide that outlines the connections between classical mechanics and geophysical fluid dynamics. It is particularly well-suited for geophysics, meteorology, and oceanography students enrolled in mechanics and fluid dynamics courses, as well as serving as a valuable reference for a course on geophysical fluid dynamics. With its clear and concise explanations, engaging illustrations, and extensive bibliography, Classical Mechanics in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics offers students a comprehensive foundation for understanding the complex interplay between mechanics and the Earth's systems.
