Vortex Dynamics, Statistical Mechanics, And Planetary Atmospheres - Lim, Chjan C (Rensselaer Polytechnic Inst, Usa) a Ding, Xueru (Rensselaer Polytechnic Inst, Usa) a Nebus, Joseph (Rensselaer Polytechnic Inst, Usa)

Introduces the reader with a background in either fluid mechanics or statistical mechanics to the modeling of planetary atmospheres by barotropic and shallow-water models. This book builds on Vorticity, Statistical Mechanics, and Monte Carlo Simulations by Lim and Nebus in providing a rare introduction to this intersection of research fields.
