IUTAM symposium on developments in geophysical turbulence. National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, CO, USA, June 16--19, 1998 (Q5948375)

Publisher's description (no review copy received): Turbulence is ubiquitous in nature, playing a role in a variety of geophysical problems and related flows. Topics that will be emphasized in these proceedings of developments of geophysical turbulence are: 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.
