{"product_id":"9780123852243","title":"An Introduction to Atmospheric Gravity Waves","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.\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAn Introduction to Atmospheric Gravity Waves\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNappo provides a concise volume on gravity waves with a lucid discussion of current observational techniques and instrumentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn 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.
