Product Description
Gravity waves exist in all types of geophysical fluids, such as lakes, oceans, and atmospheres. They play an important role in redistributing energy at disturbances, such as mountains or seamounts and they are routinely studied in meteorology and oceanography, particularly simulation models, atmospheric weather models, turbulence, air pollution, and climate research.
An Introduction to Atmospheric Gravity Waves provides readers with a working background of the fundamental physics and mathematics of gravity waves, and introduces a wide variety of applications and numerous recent advances.
Nappo provides a concise volume on gravity waves with a lucid discussion of current observational techniques and instrumentation.
An accompanying CD-ROM contains real data, computer codes for data analysis, and linear gravity wave models to further enhance the reader's understanding of the book's material. Foreword is written by Prof. George Chimonas, a renowned expert on the interactions of gravity waves with turbulence.
CD containing real data, computer codes for data analysis and linear gravity wave models included with the text

A Biased Opinion January 17, 2003

I am neither a physicist nor a mathematician and, unfortunatly, cannot understand the majority of the thoughts of this book, but with a background in the art industry, I commend the author on his selection of photos and the illustrations he created for the work and especially for the dedication, devotion and time spent in writing it. It is a pleasure to look through it.
