This book was released on 2017-06-15 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The geomagnetic field is one of the most prominent characteristics of our planet. It protects us from harmful solar and cosmic radiations and provides us with the North and South geomagnetic poles. Most importantly, it opens a window on the deepest region of our planet: the Earth's core. The geomagnetic field is known to show oscillations and variability on a wide range of timescales. These are believed to be the observable consequence of the rich dynamics taking place in the outer core of the Earth, where fluid motions driven mainly by thermochemical convection generate and constantly modify the geomagnetic field. To link the geomagnetic observations with the core flows is an incredibly difficult feat that challenges our technological capabilities and scientific understanding of the structure and dynamics of the Earth's interior. Here I study the possibility of using the inerannual to decadal geomagnetic oscillations to obtain a dynamical picture of the fluid flow and magnetic fields in the Earth's outer core. This is possible thanks to the quasi-geostrophic approximation, originating from the overwhelming importance of Earth's rotation on the core dynamics.

Download or read book Global Dynamics of the Earth written by R. Sabadini and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-14 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume opens up new perspectives on the physics of the Earth's interior for graduate students and researchers working in the fields of geophysics and geodesy. It looks at our planet in an integrated fashion, linking the physics of its interior to the geophysical and geodetic techniques that record, over a broad spectrum of spatial wavelengths, the ongoing modifications in the shape and gravity field of the planet. Basic issues related to the rheological properties of the Earth's mantle and to its slow deformation will be understood, in both mathematical and physical terms, within the framework of an analytical normal mode relaxation theory. Fundamentals of this theory are developed in the first, tutorial part. The second part deals with a wide range of applications, ranging from changes in the Earth's rotation to post-seismic deformation and sea-level variations induced by post-glacial rebound. In the study of the physics of the Earth's interior, the book bridges the gap between seismology and geodynamics.

This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 756 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: General circulation models (GCMs), which define the fundamental dynamics of atmospheric circulation, are nowadays used in various fields of atmospheric science such as weather forecasting, climate predictions and environmental estimations. The Second Edition of this renowned work has been updated to include recent progress of high resolution global modeling. It also contains for the first time aspects of high-resolution global non-hydrostatic models that the author has been studying since the publication of the first edition. Some highlighted results from the Non-hydrostatic ICosahedral Atmospheric Model (NICAM) are also included. The author outlines the theoretical concepts, simple models and numerical methods for modeling the general circulation of the atmosphere. Concentrating on the physical mechanisms responsible for the development of large-scale circulation of the atmosphere, the book offers comprehensive coverage of an important and rapidly developing technique used in the atmospheric science. Dynamic interpretations of the atmospheric structure and their aspects in the general circulation model are described step by step.
