Description
This course is an introduction to basic ideas of geophysical wave motion in rotating, stratified, and rotating-stratified fluids.
Subject begins with general wave concepts of phase and group velocity. It also covers the dynamics and kinematics of gravity waves with a focus on dispersion, energy flux, initial value problems, etc.
