Summary
Unveiling the Dynamics of Earth’s Fluids: A Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Journey
Geophysical Fluid Dynamics delves into the intricate dynamics of stratified and turbulent fluid motion within the atmosphere, ocean, and Earth’s outer core. This book elucidates key concepts and fundamental processes governing large- and medium-scale atmospheric and oceanic movements, all through the unifying lens of the rotating shallow water model.
This model, a cornerstone of geophysical fluid …

About The Author
Prof Vladimir Zeitlin
Vladimir Zeitlin graduated from Dnipropetrovsk University (Ukraine) in 1976 and gained his PhD in theoretical and mathematical physics in 1980 from the Levedev Physical Institute (Moscow). Trained as a theoretical physicist, he moved his focus to geophysical fluid dynamics in the early 1980s. He worked at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (Moscow) on vortex dynamics, wave-vortex interactions, and turbulence. Later, after moving to France, V. Zeitlin joined the Laboratory of Dynamical Meteorology and then became Professor at the University P. and M. Curie (now Sorbonne University) and École Normale Supérieure (Paris). V. Zeitlin is now Professor Emeritus at Sorbonne University.
