This volume provides an overview of the fluid aspects of the climate system, focusing on basic aspects as well as recent research developments. It will bring together contributions from diverse fields of the physical, mathematical and engineering sciences. The volume will be useful to doctorate students, postdocs and researchers working on different aspects of atmospheric, oceanic and environmental fluid dynamics. It will also be of interest to researchers interested in quantitatively understanding how fluid dynamics can be applied to the climate system, and to climate scientists willing to gain a deeper insight into the fluid mechanics underlying climate processes.

This book is intended for students and laypersons interested in understanding weather activity in the atmosphere. Besides basic knowledge of mathematics and physics, no other prerequisites are necessary for comprehending the material.This textbook gives a thorough introduction to the dynamics of weather. It provides readers with a basic understanding of the complex phenomena and their underlying processes. A rigorous mathematical derivation of all results and numerous figures are also included in the book to help illustrate and interpret weather maps, weather forecasts, atmospheric data and the output of atmospheric models.
