Review:
From the reviews:
"The book is a compendium on modern dynamics of global circulation, with strong emphasis on the atmospheric branch. ... this book represents a highly valuable account of the role the major physical and mathematical fluid dynamics concepts play in the complex climate system. This is a new, fresh and authentic survey of the atmospheric branch of geophysical fluid dynamics; as such it can be recommended to a wide audience." (M. Hantel, Meteorologische Zeitschrift, Vol. 15 (4), 2006)
