{"product_id":"waves-and-mean-flows-oliver-bhler-9781107669666","title":"Waves and Mean Flows","description":"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, such as shear flows and vortices. A detailed account of the theory of linear dispersive waves in moving media is followed by a thorough introduction to classical wave-mean interaction theory. The author then extends the scope of the classical theory and lifts its restriction to zonally symmetric mean flows. It can be used as a fundamental reference, a course text, or by geophysicists and physicists needing a first introduction. This second edition includes brand new material, including a section on Langmuir circulations and the Craik-Leibovich instability. The author has also added exercises to aid students' learning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Oliver B?ler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107669669\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107669666\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/06\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.80w x 1.10d","brand":"Oliver B?ler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43924078395647,"sku":"9781107669666","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_83a945f6-5ea2-4911-ad47-23279077bd38.jpg?v=1681068346","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/waves-and-mean-flows-oliver-bhler-9781107669666","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
