During the last decade,  significant progress has been achieved in the field as a result of  both experimental studies and numerical modelling. This led to the  principal revision of the widely held view on buoyancy-driven  turbulent flows comprising an organised mean component with  superimposed chaotic turbulence. An intermediate type of motion,  represented by coherent structures, has been found to play a key role  in geophysical boundary layers and in larger scale atmospheric and  hydrospheric circulations driven by buoyant forcing. New aspects of  the interaction between convective motions and rotation have recently  been discovered and investigated. Extensive experimental data have  also been collected on the role of convection in cloud dynamics and  microphysics. New theoretical concepts and approaches have been  outlined regarding scaling and parameterization of physical processes  in buoyancy-driven geophysical flows. \u003cbr\u003e  The book summarizes interdisciplinary studies of buoyancy effects in  different media (atmosphere and hydrosphere) over a wide range of  scales (small scale phenomena in unstably stratified and convectively  mixed layers to deep convection in the atmosphere and ocean), by  different research methods (field measurements, laboratory  simulations, numerical modelling), and within a variety of application  areas (dispersion of pollutants, weather forecasting, hazardous  phenomena associated with buoyant forcing).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401061254\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-5058-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 491\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358958678156,"sku":"9789401061254","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401061254.jpg?v=1775707914","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789401061254","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
