Wave Packets And Their Bifurcations In Geophysical Fluid Dynamics

The investigation of wave packets and their bi­ furcations is very interesting, and useful theoretically and in practice, not only in geophysical fluid dynamics, which is the field to which the theory is being applied here, but also in other fields in mathematics and the natural sciences. Wave Packets and Their Bifurcations in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics provides insight into the understanding of the nature of the geophysical fluids, especially their structures and structural changes. Moreover, the comprehensive treatment of the material provides a systematic and complete development on the subject. Graduate students and researchers in fields such as applied mathematics, geophysical fluid dynamics, atmospheric sciences and physical oceanography will find this text especially useful. The book can also be used as a reference or supplement in courses such as wave theory, bifurcation theory, advanced dynamical meteorology, advanced dynamical oceanography and geophysical fluid dynamics.
