Free Download Fundamentals of Geophysical Hydrodynamics By Felix V. Dolzhansky (auth.)
2013 | 274 Pages | ISBN: 3642310338 | PDF | 3 MB
This newly-translated book takes the reader from the basic principles and conservation laws of hydrodynamics to the description of general atmospheric circulation. Among the topics covered are the Kelvin, Ertel and Rossby-Obukhov invariants, quasi-geostrophic equation, thermal wind, singular Helmholtz vortices, derivation of the Navier-Stokes equation, Kolmogorov’s flow, hydrodynamic stability, and geophysical boundary layers. Generalizing V. Arnold’s approach to hydrodynamics, the author ingeniously brings in an analogy of Coriolis forces acting on fluid with motion of the Euler heavy top and shows how this is used in the analysis of general atmospheric circulation.This book is based on popular graduate and undergraduate courses given by F.V.Dolzhansky at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, and is the result of the author’s highly acclaimed work in Moscow’s Laboratory of Geophysical Hydrodynamics. Each chapter is full of examples and figures, exercises and hints, motivating and illustrating both theoretical and experimental results. The exposition is comprehensive yet user-friendly in engaging and exploring the broad range of topics for students and researchers in mathematics, physics, meteorology and engineering.

This book presents recent results of collaborative studies in geophysics and ecology, focusing on the relationship between the physical environment and the distribution of the marine coastal ecosystems. The study area, the Sakiyamawan-Amitoriwan nature conservation area in Iriomote Island of Japan, is the only oceanic nature conservation area in the country.

Free Download Geodetic Deformation Monitoring: From Geophysical to Engineering Roles: IAG Symposium Jaén, Spain March 17-19, 2005 By H. G. Henneberg (auth.), Professor Fernando Sansò, Professor Antonio J. Gil (eds.)
2006 | 306 Pages | ISBN: 3540385959 | PDF | 10 MB
Geodesy is the science dealing with the determination of the position of points in space, the shape and gravity field of the Earth and with their time variations. A consequence is that geodesists feel as a permanent subject of research, the detection, analysis and interpretation of spatial deformation as well as gravity field variation. This book collects 36 selected papers from the International Symposium on Geodetic Deformation Monitoring held in Jaén (Spain) from 17th to 19th March 2005. The main topics covered in the symposium were: mathematical and statistical models for crustal deformation analysis, deformation monitoring from GPS and InSAR data: analysis and geophysical interpretation, geodetic monitoring of movements in civil engineering, integration of spatial and terrestrial techniques in deformation studies, geodynamical applications of gravimetric observations and present-day geodetic instrumentation for deformation monitoring. This volume is a good overview of theoretical matters, models and results.

Free Download Huandi Wang, "Practical Geophysical Technology and Application for Lithological Reservoirs "
English | ISBN: 9811641994 | 2021 | 124 pages | PDF | 5 MB
This book introduces new geological analysis and geophysical methods and techniques for lithological reservoir exploration. It puts forward a set of practical geophysical methods and techniques aimed at lithological reservoirs in China. From a practical point of view, the book systematically analyses geophysical methods and technique principles, applied steps, key problems and caution notes in lithological exploration. The lessons of the book are demonstrated with a case study of the Songliao Basin, which has a large area with a low density of lithological reservoirs, indicating the methods and techniques that can identify lithological reservoirs. It is unique in its fusion of theory, method and technology and practice.

Free Download Vladimir Zeitlin, "Geophysical Fluid Dynamics: Understanding (almost) everything with rotating shallow water models"
English | 2018 | ISBN: 0198804334 | PDF | pages: 509 | 107.3 mb
Geophysical fluid dynamics examines the dynamics of stratified and turbulent motion of fluids in the ocean and outer core, and of gases in the atmosphere. This book explains key notions and fundamental processes of the dynamics of large- and medium-scale atmospheric and oceanic motions from the unifying viewpoint of the rotating shallow water model. The model plays a distinguished role in geophysical fluid dynamics. It has been used for about a century for conceptual understanding of various phenomena, for elaboration of approaches and methods to be used later in more complete models, for development and testing of numerical codes, and for many other purposes. In spite of its simplicity, the model grasps essential features of the complete "primitive equations" models, being their vertically averaged version, and gives an intuitive representation and clear vision of principal dynamical processes.
