This book describes new theoretical advances concerning analytical solutions of the Rotating
Shallow Water Equations which will make it of great interest to graduate students and
scientists in the fields of Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Physical Oceanography Dynamical
Meteorology and Applied Mathematics. The new dispersion relations and meridional amplitude
variations of waves derived in this book can be applied to observations in the atmosphere and
ocean and also provide alternatives to the Spherical Harmonics basis of global-scale spectral
numerical models.
