Reviews
.Introduction to Geophysical Fluid Dynamics is one of the best books introducing the subject matter. The physics underlying the different phenomena of interest to geophysical fluid dynamics is concisely explained.I highly recommend this to undergraduate students, however, graduate students will also benefit from the material presented. --Contemporary Physics, Volume 54, Issue 1
...clear, informative, and ambitious...a unique and well-respected approach to dynamic meteorology and physical oceanography...I would recommend this book to advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and others for self-study or reference. --Pure and Applied Geophysics, Introduction to Geophysical Fluid Dynamics, Second Edition ...clear, informative, and ambitious...a unique and well-respected approach to dynamic meteorology and physical oceanography...I would recommend this book to advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and others for self-study or reference. --Pure and Applied Geophysics, Introduction to Geophysical Fluid Dynamics, Second Edition This book.is one of the best books introducing the subject matter.
