Sammendrag: Fluid dynamics is fundamental to our understanding of the atmosphere and oceans. Although many of the same principles of fluid dynamics apply to both the atmosphere and oceans, textbooks on the topic have tended to concentrate on either the atmosphere or the ocean, or on the theory of geophysical fluid dynamics (GFD). However, there is much to be said for a unified discussion, and this major new textbook provides a comprehensive, coherent treatment of all these topics. It is based on course notes that the author has developed over a number of years at Princeton and the University of California. Atmospheric and Oceanic Fluid Dynamics will prove to be an invaluable graduate textbook on courses in GFD, meteorology, atmospheric science and oceanography, and will also be an excellent review volume for researchers.
