IUTAM symposium on developments in geophysical turbulence

Turbulence is ubiquitous in nature, playing a role in a variety of geophysical problems and related flows. Topics that will be emphasized in the proceedings of Developments of Geophysical Turbulence are: the physics and mathematics of turbulence, atmospheric and oceanic turbulence, and historical developments. This symposium continued a long tradition for such symposia going back to the IUGG/IUTAM Symposium `Fundamental Problems in Turbulence and their Relation to Geophysics', Marseilles, 1961. Contributions to this volume were selected for their suitability to make this volume supplemental reading for a graduate course or to introduce those working in the geophysical and meteorological sciences to recent developments in our understanding of turbulence.
