Publisher's Synopsis
This present volume consists mainly of papers presented at the conference plus a paper by a scientist who was unable to attend. The main theme of the conference centered around problems connected with oscillations that arise in geophysical fluid dynamics, with the theme of wave motions in fluids that are rotating and/or stratified and/or electrically conducting. Geophysical applications included the following - motions in the Earth's fluid core, oscillations in the oceans with emphasis on the effects of tomography, internal waves in lakes and enclosed seas, convective instabilities, and non-linear wave interactions.
