Modeling Atmospheric and Oceanic Flows: Insights from Laboratory
Experiments and Numerical Simulations provides a broad overview of
recent progress in using laboratory experiments and numerical
simulations to model atmospheric and oceanic fluid motions. This volume
not only surveys novel research topics in laboratory experimentation,
but also highlights recent developments in the corresponding
computational simulations. As computing power grows exponentially and
better numerical codes are developed, the interplay between numerical
simulations and laboratory experiments is gaining paramount importance
within the scientific community. The lessons learnt from the
laboratory–model comparisons in this volume will act as a source of
inspiration for the next generation of experiments and simulations.
Volume highlights include:
- Topics pertaining to atmospheric science, climate physics, physical oceanography, marine geology and geophysics
- Overview of the most advanced experimental and computational research in geophysics
- Recent developments in numerical simulations of atmospheric and oceanic fluid motion
- Unique comparative analysis of the experimental and numerical approaches to modeling fluid flow
Modeling
Atmospheric and Oceanic Flows will be a valuable resource for graduate
students, researchers, and professionals in the fields of geophysics,
atmospheric sciences, oceanography, climate science, hydrology, and
experimental geosciences.
