Contents
1. Fluid Dynamics and Waves/ 2. Wave-Mean Interaction Theory/ 3. Waves and Vortices/ Bibliography/ Index/
* Interactions between waves and mean flows play a crucial role in understanding the long-term aspects of atmospheric and oceanographic modeling. Indeed, our ability to predict climate change hinges on our ability to model waves accurately. This book gives a modern account of the nonlinear interactions between waves and mean flows such as shear flows and vortices. *

Contents
1. Description of the world oceans/ 2. Dynamical foundations/ 3. Energetics of oceanic circulation/ 4. Wind-driven circulation/ 5. Thermohaline circulation/ Bibliography/ Index/
* The interaction between ocean circulation and climate change has been an active research frontier in Earth sciences in recent years. Ocean circulation, and its related geophysical fluid dynamical principles, are now taught at graduate level in many Earth and atmospheric science departments.
* This is the first advanced textbook to discuss both wind-driven and thermohaline-driven processes - two important aspects of large-scale ocean circulation. It provides a concise introduction to the dynamics and thermodynamics of oceanic general circulation. *

Contents
1. Dynamics of Surface Gravity Waves in the Nearshore Region A General Introduction/ 2. Weakly Nonlinear Waves Propagating over Uneven Bottoms/ 3. Mild-Slope Equations/ 4. Wave Motion in A Porous Medium/ 5. Nonlinear Unified Equations/ 6. Modified Zakharov Equation for Arbitrary Depths/ 7. Nonlinear Resonant Waves in A Flow over Uneven Bottoms/ 8. Generalized Mean-Flow Theory of Wave-Current-Bottom Interactions/ 9. Hamiltonian Formalism for Stratified Flows/ 10. Multi-Symplectic Structure for Three-Dimensional Surface Capillary-Gravity Waves in Inhomogeneous Media/ 11. Highly Nonlinear Short-Crested Waves in Water of Variable Depth/ Appendices/ References/ Index/
* Wave motion is one of the broadest scientific subjects in nature, especially water waves in the near-shore region which present more richness and complexity of variability with respect to deep-water waves. Dynamics of Surface Waves in Coastal Waters: Wave-Current-Bottom Interactions develops the typical basic theories (e.g. mild-slope equation and shore-crested waves) and applications of water wave propagation with an emphasis on wave-current-bottom interactions and Hamiltonian systems. *

* The Oceans cover more than 70% of the earth's surface, and, as such should be expected to have an impact on all life on earth. This book was written from this kind of global perspective. It is intended to give students an appreciation for the impacts of the oceans on their day-to-day lives. from the discussion of the early pioneers of oceanography to the examination of the effects of the oceans on global climate change, the book builds upon the natural excitement that most students have for the oceans. The book also illustrates for students ways that science and mathematics can be used to better understand the oceans. *
