Instability in homogeneous and density stratified shear flows may be interpreted in terms of
the interaction of two (or more) otherwise free waves in the velocity and density profiles …

The atmosphere and ocean are two of the most important components of the climate system,
and fluid dynamics is central to our understanding of both. This book provides a unified and …

Rossby waves are a pervasive feature of the large-scale motions of the Earth's atmosphere
and oceans. These waves (also known as planetary waves and r-modes) also play an …

Rotating Thermal Flows in Natural and Industrial Processes provides the reader with a
systematic description of the different types of thermal convection and flow instabilities in …

The Arctic stratospheric polar vortex is an important driver of mid-latitude cold spells. One
proposed coupling mechanism between the stratospheric polar vortex and the troposphere …

In close exoplanetary systems, tidal interactions drive orbital and spin evolution of planets
and stars over long time-scales. Tidally forced inertial waves (restored by the Coriolis …

Abstract During February 2023, the quasi‐4‐day wave (Q4DW) with westward zonal
wavenumber 2 (W2) reached its largest amplitude of∼ 400 m in the Southern Hemisphere …

Context. The dissipation of tidal inertial waves in planetary and stellar convective regions is
one of the key mechanisms that drive the evolution of star–planet and planet–moon systems …

A brief review is given of the Rossby wave instability in astrophysical discs. In non-self-
gravitating discs, around for example a newly forming stars, the instability can be triggered …

We examine the differences between observed stratospheric vertical wave reflection and
wave absorption events, which differ in that the wave‐induced deceleration remains …
