Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book explores the asymptotic behavior of planetary scale motions of the atmosphere over the rotating earth by deriving and comparing asymptotic equations describing slowly varying planetary scale motions to the geostrophic equations of motion in the tangent plane approximation. The same approximation procedure is used in both spherical and plane geometry, allowing for a direct term-by-term comparison. While the plane approximation yields familiar prognostic equations, in spherical geometry, a more constrained forcing-type problem results when the zonal motion is time-dependent. This restricts the asymptotic motion to slowly-time-varying, nearly-zonal flows combined with an associated meridional motion, eliminating long wave tesseral motions. The book demonstrates that planetary meridional circulation is mainly driven by zonal flow and that heating and dissipation act on smaller scale elements in the atmosphere, only directly modifying the purely zonal flow itself which must have an external driving mechanism. The author suggests that numerical studies of these asymptotic equations may help researchers determine the secondary motions associated with a slowly varying zonal motion. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
