Geophysical Fluid Mechanics
This webpage provides links to drafts of an ongoing book project that aims to provide an intellectual foundation for the study of Geophysical Fluid Mechanics. Much work remains, with feedback welcome on any portion of the project.
- Volume 1: Foundations in mathematical physics and classical mechanics
- Volume 2: Mechanics and thermodynamics of fluid flows
- Volume 3: Shallow water flows, vorticity, and nearly geostrophic flows
- Volume 4: Vertical coordinates, scalar fields, and Hamilton's principle
- Volume 5: Waves and instabilities
