Hardback. Condition: New. Large-scale winds and currents tend to balance Coriolis and pressure gradient forces. The time evolution of these winds and currents is the subject of the quasi-geostrophic theory. Chapter 1 presents concepts and equations of classical inertial fluid mechanics. Chapter 2 deals with the equations of thermodynamics that close the governing equations of the fluids. Then, the motion is reformulated in a uniformly rotating reference frame. Chapter 3 deals with the shallow-water model and the homogeneous model of wind-driven circulation. The chapter also describes a classical application of the Ekman layer to the atmosphere. Chapter 4 considers the two-layer model, as an introduction to baroclinic flows, together with the concept of available potential energy. Chapter 5 takes into account continuously stratified flows in the ocean and in the atmosphere.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Large scale flows are strong movements in the atmosphere and in the oceans, governed by the balance between Coriolis and pressure gradient forces (geostrophic equilibrium). This book describes the dynamics, mechanics and thermodynamics of these winds and currents. It is written for researchers, but also accessible for students in the field, since it also gives an overview of applied quasi-geostrophic theory suitable to advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate courses.Chapter 1 presents concepts and equations of classical inertial fluid mechanics.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book describes the derivation of the equations of motion of fluids as well as the dynamics of ocean and atmospheric currents on both large and small scales through the use of variational methods. In this way the equations of Fluid and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics are re-derived making use of a unifying principle, that is Hamilton's Principle of Least Action. The equations are analyzed within the framework of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics for continuous systems. The analysis of the equations' symmetries and the resulting conservation laws, from Noether's Theorem, represent the core of the description. Central to this work is the analysis of particle relabeling symmetry, which is unique for fluid dynamics and results in the conservation of potential vorticity. Different special approximations and relations, ranging from the semi-geostrophic approximation to the conservation of wave activity, are derived and analyzed. Thanks to a complete derivation of all relationships, this book is accessible for students at both undergraduate and graduate levels, as well for researchers. Students of theoretical physics and applied mathematics will recognize the existence of theoretical challenges behind the applied field of Geophysical Fluid Dynamics, while students of applied physics, meteorology and oceanography will be able to find and appreciate the fundamental relationships behind equations in this field.…

Brossura. Condition: nuovo. Anno: 2020. Pagine: 127. ISBN: 978-88-5511-171-3. Edizioni Università di Trieste --- Lo scopo fondamentale del testo è quello di fornire agli studenti e ai cultori di Scienze della Terra fondamenti rigorosi, dal punto di vista fisico, di una fenomenologia cui si accede spesso per via elementare ma priva di adeguate spiegazioni. Un esempio tipico è dato dalle mappe di previsione meteorologiche diffuse dai mezzi di informazione, in cui resta misteriosa la struttura ondulatoria dei campi di pressione che determinano le aree cicloniche e anticicloniche. In numerosi modelli di processo, come quello sopra accennato, è possibile disaccoppiare in modo coerente la meccanica dalla termodinamica e generare modelli puramente meccanici, limitandosi a fluidi a densità costante. Il testo si colloca in questo ambito in modo da renderlo più facilmente accessibile alle sopraddette categorie di potenziali lettori. Il lavoro, che è basato su una pluriennale esperienza didattica degli autori, sembra trovare agevolmente spazio nell'esigua letteratura scientifica in lingua italiana sull'argomento.…

Brossura. Condition: nuovo. Anno: 2022 Pagine: 99. ISBN: 978-88-5511-311-3. Edizioni Università di Trieste --- L'oceanografo Henry Stommel, di cui ricorreva nel 2020 il centenario della nascita, è unanimemente riconosciuto come il più grande e famoso ricercatore nel settore della fisica degli oceani. Tra le innumerevoli pubblicazioni scientifiche di cui fu autore, le più originali e gravide di conseguenze riguardano le correnti del Nord Atlantico che attualmente rivestono un'importanza fondamentale anche dal punto di vista del cambiamento climatico. Tuttavia, al di là delle pubblicazioni su riviste specialistiche e in lingua inglese, non esiste, nella nostra lingua, un testo storico-scientifico che presenti in maniera dettagliata i risultati di punta ottenuti dallo Stommel. Questo lavoro viene così a colmare una evidente lacuna e può risultare di riferimento sia per lo storico della scienza che per il cultore di scienze marine.…

Condition: nuovo. Anno: 2026. Pagine: 71; ill. ISBN: 978-88-5511-655-8. Edizioni Università di Trieste . L'oceanografo norvegese Harald Ulrik Sverdrup (1888- 1957) contribuì, come pochi altri Colleghi, alla conoscenza della fisica degli oceani. Divenne famoso soprattutto per la formulazione della teoria della circolazione a grande scala forzata dal vento e riassunta in un'equazione, nota come bilancio di Sverdrup (1947), che è probabilmente una delle più note dell'oceanografia fisica. Il suddetto bilancio, pur conservando la forma matematica, è stato inquadrato nel corso del tempo in contesti geofluidodinamici sempre più sofisticati e generali. Nel lavoro che si propone il contributo di Sverdrup è collocato nel contesto storico che gli è proprio ed è quindi riesaminato alla luce delle conoscenze più attuali. Agli autori non risulta che esistano pubblicazioni in lingua italiana di pari dettaglio e rigore metodologico. Il lavoro è destinato ai cultori della storia dell'oceanografia e agli studenti di scienze marine nonché agli studiosi che intendono affrontare un tema già noto ma degno di approfondimento.…
