[AO announcement] AOFD book updates

[Geoff Vallis]

Dear All,

I have slowly started the long process of preparing a second edition of my book, Atmospheric and Oceanic Fluid Dynamics. It will be at least a couple of years before this is finalized. From time to time I will be posting material to the web, in the hope of receiving comments from readers. The web site is:

I have just posted a couple of draft chapters on equatorial dynamics, including the Matsuno-Gill problem and dynamics of equatorial ocean circulation. Please take a look if you have time, and pass this email on to anyone you think may be interested, especially students and postdocs. I would be very grateful to receive any comments you may have on this material, and suggestions for other material to be included or omitted. 

Regards,
Geoff Vallis
