Geophysical Fluid Dynamics

Geophysical Fluid Dynamics is a branch of fluid dynamics that studies the motion of fluids on large planetary scales, particularly as manifested in the atmospheres and oceans of Earth and other planets, distinguished by the incorporation of rotational, gravitational, and stratificational effects due to planetary rotation and density variations.
