Contents:
Elements of fluid dynamics -- Linear waves -- Geometric wave theory -- Dispersive waves and ray tracing -- Zonally symmetric wave-mean interaction theory -- Internal gravity waves -- Shear flows -- Three-dimensional rotating flow -- Rossby waves and balanced dynamics -- Lagrangian-mean theory -- Zonally symmetric GLM theory -- A framework for local interactions -- Wave-driven vortex dynamics on beaches -- Wave refraction by vortices.
Summary: Interactions between waves and mean flows play a crucial role in understanding the long-term aspects of atmospheric and oceanographic modelling. Indeed, our ability to predict climate change hinges on our ability to model waves accurately. This book gives a modern account of the nonlinear interactions between waves and mean flows.
