MATHEMATICS OF PLANET EARTH QUASI-LINEAR THEO...

This book introduces a mathematical theory for the interaction of oceanic surface gravity waves
and oceanic currents. This theory is formulated using the quasi-linear approximation for a
uniform density fluid with a free surface and it provides wave-averaged expressions for the
wave amplitudes and for the dynamical evolution of the currents. The surface gravity
wave-current interaction theory is a more complete theory than previous with respect to an
asymptotic expansion in the small parameter V C  where V is a current speed and C is a wave
speed. This book also illustrates the formal theory with several examples  and the path for its
implementation in more realistic wave and circulation models is envisioned. This book is
appealing to oceanic research scientists and mathematicians interested in geophysical fluid
dynamics.
