The volume delves into the mechanisms driving such instabilities, including mathematical modelling, experimental studies, and theoretical analyses. It serves as a vital resource for geophysicists, physicists, and researchers interested in the dynamic behaviours of continuous media. -- Contents: Introduction by L.

Knopoff (et al.); Deterministic and Statistical Properties of the Westerlies by A. Speranza; The Charney-Stern Theorem on Barotropic-Baroclinic Instability by Arnt Eliassen -- Instabilities abound in geophysical systems described by non-linear fluid and solid mechanics. The field is reviewed here with contributions on the rotating and convecting fluid masses forming the oceans and planetary atmospheres, and on the solid Earth in which fault slip and earthquake instabilities occur. Topics include circulation in the Earth's weather system, baroclinic waves and instabilities, thermally driven zonal flows and jets in planetary atmospheres, and statistical stability of turbulent shear flows. Also, nonlinear wave interactions and nonlinear diffusion is examined. For the solid earth, results are reported on models for crack interaction and on the constitutive description of fault slip leading to earthquake instabilities. The notion of hydrodynamic instability was made fundamental to modern meteorology in large measure by the work of the late Jules Charney, to whom the book is dedicated and whose contributions are discussed in several of the articles within.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Surface waves form the longest and strongest portion of a seismic record excited by explosions and shallow earthquakes. Traversing areas with diverse geologic structures, they 'absorb' information on the properties of these areas which is best retlected in dispersion, the dependence of velocity on frequency. The other prop erties of these waves - polarization, frequency content, attenuation, azimuthal variation of the amplitude and phase - arc also controlled by the medium between the source and the recording station; some of these are affected by the properties of the source itself and by the conditions around it. In recent years surface wave seismology has become an indispensable part of seismological practice. The maximum amplitude in the surface wave train of virtually every earthquake or major explosion is being measured and used by all national and international seismological surveys in the determination of the most important energy parameter of a seismic source, namely, the magnitude M, The relationship between M, and the body wave magnitude fI1t, is routinely employed in identification of underground nuclear explosions. Surface waves of hundreds of earthquakes recorded every year are being analysed to estimate the seismic moment tensor of earthquake sources, to determine the periods of free oscillations of the Earth, to construct regional dispersion curves from which in turn the crustal and upper mantle structure in various areas is derived, and to evaluate the dissipative parameters of the mantle material.…
