The Hamiltonian viewpoint of fluid mechanical systems with few and infinite number of
degrees of freedom is described. Rudimentary concepts of finite-degree-of-freedom …

In the lowest order of approximation quasi‐two‐dimensional dynamics of planetary
atmospheres and of plasmas in a magnetic field can be described by a common convective …

This book develops the subject of nonlinear plasma physics from a general physics
perspective. It begins with a description of nonlinear oscillations, the parametric instability …

Mesoscale eddies are ubiquitous and energetic features in the ocean. Although eddies are
known to form dipoles from time to time, it is unclear how often they do so. Using satellite …

This book is a summary of our 18-year period of joint work in the field of vortex dynamics in a
stratified rotating fluid under INTAS 94-3614 (1995–1997), INTAS/AIRBUS 04-80-7297 …

We systematically study the evolution of Larichev–Reznik dipoles in an equivalent-
barotropic quasi-geostrophic beta-plane model in high-resolution numerical simulations …

Hamiltonian fluid dynamics and stability theory work hand-in-hand in a variety of
engineering, physics, and physical science fields. Until now, however, no single reference …

The long-time evolution of monopolar and dipolar vortices influenced by the largescale
gradient of the ambient potential vorticity (the β-effect) is studied by direct numerical …

Water in the ocean is generally carried with the mean flow, mixed by eddies, or transported
westward by coherent eddies at speeds close to the long baroclinic Rossby wave speed …

The spontaneous symmetry breaking of weak eastward propagating dipoles is revealed
from high-resolution numerical simulations in an equivalent-barotropic quasigeostrophic …
