This introduction to topics in geophysical fluid dynamics covers the theory of large-scale ocean circulation, geostrophic turbulence, and Hamiltonian fluid dynamics.

This book offers an elementary introduction to several topics in theoretical geophysical fluid dynamics, including some topics not usually considered to fall under that heading and omitting many that are. The book is aimed at first-year graduate students in physical oceanography, but others should find it useful too.


There are no exercises, so this is more of a monograph than a textbook.
