What is Rotating Hydraulics: Nonlinear Topographic Effects in the Ocean and Atmosphere (Atmospheric and Oceanographic Sciences Library (36)) about?
**Larry Pratt** received his Ph. D. in physical oceanography in the Woods Hole/MIT Joint Program in 1982. He then served as a research associate and assistant research professor at the University of Rhode Island before joining the scientific staff at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, where he is now a senior scientist. He is editor of __The Physical Oceanography of Sea Straits__ and has authored or co-authored numerous articles on hydraulic effects in the ocean. **J. A. (Jack) Whitehead** received his Ph. D. in engineering and applied science from Yale University in 1968. After postdoctoral work and serving as assistant research geophysicist at the Institute of Geophysical and Planetary Physics at UCLA, he joined the scientific staff at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, where he is now a Senior Scientist. He has authored or co-authored numerous articles on hydraulic effects in the ocean. Hydraulic effects can occur when high-speed ocean currents and atmospheric winds encounter strong topographic features. This book contains a deep and extensive discussion of geophysical flows that are broad enough to be influenced by Earth’s rotation and strong enough to experience
