Atmosphere-Ocean Dynamics

A systematic, unifying approach to the dynamics of the ocean and atmosphere is given in this book, with emphasis on the larger-scale motions (from a few kilometers to global scale). The foundations of the subject (the equations of state and dynamical equations) are covered in some detail, so that students with training in mathematics should find it a self-contained text. Knowledge of fluid mechanics is helpful but not essential. Simple mathematical models are used to demonstrate the fundamental dynamical principles with plentiful illustrations from field and laboratory.

Adrian has over 25 years of drug discovery and development experience in senior roles across a diverse range of disease areas in both large pharma and biotech environments and been heavily involved in the identification of multiple clinical candidates across a variety of disease areas. He is a co-inventor of RMC-4630, Revolution Medicines first development candidate selectively targeting SHP2 and RMC-5552, a bi-steric inhibitor which selectively targets mTORC1. Adrian has been instrumental in the design and development of four more recent RAS(ON) development candidates from the Revolution Medicines tri-complex inhibitor platform and is also a co-inventor of RMC-6236 (RAS MULTI inhibitor), RMC-6291(KRASG12C inhibitor), RMC-8839 (KRASG13C inhibitor) and RMC-9805(KRASG12D inhibitor).Adrian has authored over 25 publications in peer-reviewed journals, is a named inventor on over 45 issued and pending small molecule patent applications and has given multiple invited presentations at national and international conferences. Adrian received his Ph.D. in organic chemistry from the University of Sussex, U.K. and has a bachelor’s degree in applied chemistry from the University of Salford, U.K. Adrian is a member of the Royal Society of Chemistry, the SCI, the American Chemical Society and an invited member of the AACR Chemistry in Cancer Research (CICR) Steering Committee. Adrian is also a member of XPose Therapeutics and Curve Therapeutics scientific advisory boards and an honorary Prof. of Drug Discovery at the Sussex University Drug Discovery Center, UK.

In this important new work, Dr. Gill provides a unified, comprehensive approach to the study of oceanic and atmospheric circulations. He explains how atmospheric and oceanic circulations are ultimately driven by solar energy and covers the study of observed distributions of physical quantities, including temperature. Concise treatments of basic hydrostatics and thermodynamics are also provided.
This instructive work uses simple mathematical models to illustrate fundamental dynamical principles, enabling scholars from diverse disciplines to understand complex theory. Furthermore, the equations of state and dynamical equations are covered in detail, making this a self-contained text for those with advanced mathematical training. The extensive bibliography and index and the historical information included make this volume useful reading for researchers, as well as a valuable text for both undergraduate and graduate students in meteorology, oceanography, and geophysical fluid dynamics.
