Wave Packets and Their Bifurcations in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics provides insight into the understanding of the nature of the geophysical fluids, especially their structures and structural changes. Moreover, the comprehensive treatment of the material provides a systematic and complete development on the subject. Graduate students and researchers in fields such as applied mathematics, geophysical fluid dynamics, atmospheric sciences and physical oceanography will find this text especially useful. The book can also be used as a reference or supplement in courses such as wave theory, bifurcation theory, advanced dynamical meteorology, advanced dynamical oceanography and geophysical fluid dynamics.
