About the Book

Turbulence is ubiquitous in nature, playing a role in a variety of geophysical problems and related flows. Topics that are be emphasized in the proceedings of Developments of Geophysical Turbulence are: the physics and mathematics of turbulence, atmospheric and oceanic turbulence, and historical developments. This symposium continued a long tradition for such symposia going back to the IUGG/IUTAM Symposium "Fundamental Problems in Turbulence and their Relation to Geophysics", Marseilles, 1961. Contributions to this volume were selected for their suitability to make this volume supplemental reading for a graduate course or to introduce those working in the geophysical and meteorological sciences to recent developments in our understanding of turbulence.

Table of Contents:
1. A brief history of the Geophysical Turbulence Program at NCAR.- 2. The meteorological development of large eddy simulation.- 3. Developments in high-Rayleigh number convection.- 4. Direct numerical simulation of particle motion in relation to structures in the convective boundary layer.- 5.Boundary sources of potential vorticity in geophysical circulations.- 6. Three-dimensional initiation of thermohaline fingering.- 7. Aspects of stratified turbulence.- 8. Particle dispersion and vortex formation in rotating stratified turbulence.- 9. Structural features of breaking waves in stratified flow over mountains.- 10. Vortex Persistence: A recent model for stratified Entrainment and its application to geophysical flows.- 11. Formation of tracer gradients in nearly two-dimensional flows.- 12. Evolution of a tracer gradient in an incompressible, two-dimensional flow.- 13.Comments on “Evolution of a tracer gradient in an incompressible, two-mensional flow” by Harvey Segur.- 14. Analytical models for vertical collapse and instability in stably stratified flows.- 15. Emergence of circumpolar vortex in two dimensional turbulence on a rotating sphere.- 16. Direct laboratory simulations of 3D vortex structures in stably stratified rotating fluids.- 17. Statistics of coherent fine scale structure in turbulent mixing layer.- 18. Structure and dynamics of small-scale turbulence in stably stratified homogeneous shear flows.- 19. Spectral eddy-viscosity based LES of shear and rotating flows.- 20. Entrainment and subgrid lengthscales in large-eddy simulations of atmospheric boundary-layer flows.- 21. Extending Lundgren’s transformation to construct stretched vortex solutions of the 3D Navier-Stokes and Euler equations.- 22. A one-dimensional MHD model of solar flares: statisticsor physics?.- List of Participants.
