Description
The first systematic overview of double-diffusive convection, providing both fundamental theory and real-world examples for researchers, professionals and graduate students.
About the Author
Timour Radko teaches courses in ocean dynamics, circulation analysis and wave motion at the Oceanography Department of the Naval Postgraduate School. Previously, he worked as a research scientist at the Department of the Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences (EAPS) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He has been active in the area of double-diffusive convection for over fifteen years and was closely involved in developing the theory surrounding this topic. Dr Radko has authored numerous papers on physical oceanography and fluid mechanics, and has received the prestigious NSF CAREER award in 2006, the NPS Merit Award for Research in 2008, and the Schieffelin (2010) and Griffin (2011) Awards for Excellence in Teaching.
Reviews
'The intimate connection between theory and data is a strength of this text ... The content of [the book] could be effectively communicated in a classroom. While it is best suited for advanced graduate students in fluid dynamics or physical oceanography, students in other related fields would certainly learn a lot from this text.' Colin R. Meyer, Pure and Applied Geophysics
