Geostrophic Wave Circulations
This book (0-9725430-0-7, 0972543007) in meteorology and atmospheric
dynamics, written by Yong Zhu, discussed the Rossby waves, orographic
stationary waves, thermal stationary waves, low frequency
variabilities, sudden warming, warm pools, nonlinear instability,
baroclinic instability, blocking, group velocity, ray-tracing
equations and so on.
The author has another book called Large-Scale Inhomogeneous
Thermodynamics (1-898326-31-2, 1898326312) providing a new
atmospheric thermodynamics. This book extended the first law and
second law of thermodynamics to inhomogeneouse processes or
systems. It discussed particularly the entropy, transport process,
heat conduction, kinetic theory, viscosity, available potential
energy, reversible engine, predictability, chaos, entrainment,
convective potential energy, state equation, ideal gas, internal
energy, zeroth law, reversible process, irreversible process,
turbulent diffusion, heat-death state.
