Geophysical Fluid Mechanics

This webpage provides links to an ongoing book project for the study of Geophysical Fluid Mechanics. Much more work remains, though I am happy to receive feedback on any portion of the project. In addition to the text material, I have a solution manual for exercises that is available upon request from teachers.

• Volume 1: Foundations in mathematical physics and classical mechanics
• Volume 2: Mechanics and thermodynamics of fluid flows
• Volume 3: Shallow water flows, vorticity, nearly geostrophic flows, vertical coordinates, and scalar fields
• Volume 4: Hamilton's principle, waves, and instabilities
