Geophysical Convection Dynamics: Volume 5

Geophysical Convection Dynamics enables researchers to go through all these basics of geophysical convection in one reference book. The book includes basics of the dynamics of convection: linear stability analysis, weakly nonlinear theory, effect of rotation, and double diffusion. It also includes detailed description of fully developed turbulence in well-mixed boundary layers, a hypothesis of vertical homogeneity, effects of moisture, and the formation of clouds. The book focuses on the presentation of the theoretical methodologies for studying convection dynamics with the emphasis on geophysical application and is relevant to those in fields across the earth and environmental sciences as well as chemistry and engineering.
