Internal gravity waves:
theory and applications.
Moscow, Nauka, 2007, pp.304
Annotation
The monography is devoted to the research
of the processes of disturbance and
propagation of the internal gravity waves
within the vertically stratified
horizontally non-uniform and non-stationary
mediums, to development of the asymptotic
methods being by the generalization of the
space-time ray-tracing method (the method
of the geometrical optics), to research of
the critical phenomena at generation and
propagations of the internal gravity waves,
and also to development of non-spectral
methods of the analysis of the full-scale
measurements of the internal gravity waves
in the ocean.
The monography is intended for the
specialists in the field of hydrodynamics,
oceanology and the mathematical modeling
of geophysical processes.
