The transition from one state to another, such as in unbalanced or adjustment flows, involves the generation of waves as well as the interaction of coherent structures with these waves. This book presents a fluid mechanics perspective to the dynamics of fronts and vortices and their interaction with waves in geophysical flows. It provides a basic physical background for modeling coherent structures in a geophysical context, and it gives essential information on advanced topics such as spontaneous wave emission and wavemomentum transfer in geophysical flows. Based on a set of lectures by leading specialists, this text is targeted at graduate students, researchers and engineers in geophysics and environmental fluid mechanics. 410 0$aLecture notes in physics ;$v805. 606 $aFluid mechanics 606 $aGeophysics 606 $aWaves 615 0$aFluid mechanics. 615 0$aGeophysics. 615 0$aWaves. 676 $a550 701 $aFlo?r$b Jan-Bert$01758376 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910140570703321 996 $aFronts, waves and vortices in geophysical flows$94196570 997 $aUNINA
