Introduction
No full textThis opening chapter defines the discipline known as geophysical fluid dynamics, stresses its importance, and highlights its most distinctive attributes. A brief history of numerical simulations in meteorology and oceanography is also presented. Scale analysis and its relationship with finite differences are introduced to show how discrete numerical grids depend on the scales under investigation and how finite differences permit the approximation of derivatives at those scales. The problem of unresolved scales is introduced as an aliasing problem in discretization. © 2011 Elsevier Inc.status: Publishe
