Opis

Adiabatic Invariants in Large-Scale Atmospheric Dynamics deals with the main principles of large-scale atmospheric dynamics on the basis of adiabatic motion constants. It introduces the theory of quasi two-dimensional fluid motion, concentrating primarily on nearly horizontal fluid parcel displacements in a stably stratified compressible fluid. Coverage also includes a complete set of compressible fluid dynamic equations along with a survey of fluid dynamical conservation laws used in meteorology and atmospheric physics; the derivation of two-dimensional atmospheric models; and the principles of kinetic energy sinks and their relation to the energy balance in the atmosphere.
