Instability in Geophysical Flows
Instabilities are present in all natural fluids from rivers to atmospheres. This book considers the physical processes that generate instability. Part I describes the normal mode instabilities most important in geophysical applications, including convection, shear instability and baroclinic instability. Classical analytical approaches are covered, while also emphasising numerical methods, mechanisms such as internal wave resonance, and simple `rules of thumb' that permit assessment of instability quickly and intuitively. Part II introduces the cutting edge: nonmodal instabilities, the relationship between instability and turbulence, self-organised criticality, and advanced numerical techniques. Featuring numerous exercises and projects, the book is ideal for advanced students and researchers wishing to understand flow instability and apply it to their own research. It can be used to teach courses in oceanography, atmospheric science, coastal engineering, applied mathematics and environmental science. Exercise solutions and MATLAB® examples are provided online. Also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
A Hero of Donegal, Dr. William Smyth (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from A Hero of Donegal, Dr. William Smyth But it is not only on a day Of storm that the land of the Rosses is beautiful. A still evening when the sun is getting low is a chance to see that Nature here is exquisite in her repose. The grey boulders are set like uncut jewels in the ruddy gold Of the grass and rushes. The islands lie purple and quiet on the gleaming waters. The distant mountains of a greyer hue carry the eye and Often the heart of man to the borders of the infinite. The gulls, no longer storm-tossed or struggling vainly to beat up against the wind, fly lazily, or stand demurely on the water's edge. There is a sense of peace, and, at first, of loneliness. But look again....

CHAPTER X THE TYPHUS PATIENTS ON ARRANMORE--HIS DEVOTION HIS FALLING A VICTIM TO THE FEVER HIS DEATH AND FUNERAL Typhus fever was no unfamiliar visitor to the Rosses, and many had been its victims. Like the Boers in the South African war it had not been content with taking toll of the rank and file, but had seemed to make a special point of attacking the officers in the shape of doctors, nurses and priests who opposed it. Of doctors, it has been seen that Dr. Smyth's i...
