Publisher's Synopsis
The first papers of the conference address the long-standing issue of the nature of the upstream effects that occur in stratified flow over obstacles (P.G. Baines, CSIRO, Australia; P.A. Taylor, York University, Ontario, Canada; and K.W. Ayotte, Boulder, Colorado, U.S.A.). Then followed a session on internal wave motions followed by a session on modelling the atmospheric boundary layer (J.C. King, British Antarctic Survey, Cambridge; A. Kay, Loughborough University of Technology). There was a session on numerical modelling (O. Metais, Institut de Mecanique de Grenoble, France; A-S. Smedman, Uppsala University). Then various aspects of dispersion are discussed and the final papers in the conference describe laboratory experiments on flow and dispersion around buildings in light wind conditions.;This book is intended for research mathematicians working in fluid dynamics, meteorology.
