The time evolution of these winds and currents is the subject of the quasi-geostrophic theory.Chapter 1 presents concepts and equations of classical inertial fluid mechanics.Chapter 2 deals with the equations of thermodynamics that close the governing equations of the fluids. Then, the motion is reformulated in a uniformly rotating reference frame.Chapter 3 deals with the shallow-water model and the homogeneous model of wind-driven circulation. The chapter also describes a classical application of the Ekman layer to the atmosphere.Chapter 4 considers the two-layer model, as an introduction to baroclinic flows, together with the concept of available potential energy.Chapter 5 takes into account continuously stratified flows in the ocean and in the atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51880859238688,"sku":"NEW9400746903","price":108.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71WaqsHPoQL.jpg?v=1781812895","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/quasi-geostrophic-theory-of-oceans-and-atmosphere-topics-in-the-dynamics-and-thermodynamics-of-the-fluid-earth-atmospheric-and-oceanographic-sciences-library-45-9400746903","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
