Strange attractors in atmospheric boundary-layer turbulence
The possible chaotic nature of the turbulence of the atmospheric boundary layer in and above a decidious forest is investigated. In particular, this...

Chaotic seismic faulting with a mass-spring model and velocity-weakening friction
We present a systematic analysis of the dynamical behavior introduced by fault zone heterogeneities, using a simple mass-spring model with...

Multiple equilibria in β-plane thermohaline convection
The buoyancy-driven circulation on a β-plane with density determined by both heat and salt concentration is studied. The flow is forced by prescribed...

Application of nonlinear dynamical systems analysis to conditionally sampled concentration fluctuations of a passive scalar in the atmospheric boundary layer
Time series and nonlinear dynamical systems analysis have been applied to the characterization of conditionally sampled concentration fluctuations...

A gradient plasticity model for lüders band propagation
At the onset of plastic deformation some materials exhibit non-monotonic behaviour in that after initially yielding the flow stress decreases with...

New developments on existence and uniqueness of solutions to some models in atmospheric dynamics
This survey is concerned with the new developments on existence and uniqueness of solutions of some basic models in atmospheric dynamics, such as...

Change in Global Behavior: Bifurcation
In earlier chapters, we mainly discussed the effects of basic flow and topography separately. In real geophysical flows, however, both factors are...

Positive, negative and zero wave energy and the flow stability problem in the Eulerian and Lagrangian-Eulerian descriptions
The stability of a horizontal flow on a stratified fluid is studied on a vertical, nonrotating plane; in this manner, integrals of motion related to...

Orbital forcing in a stochastic resonance model of the Late-Pleistocene climatic variations
Applying a number of simplifying assumptions, we have used a zero-dimensional energy balance climate model (EBM) of the Budyko-Sellers type to...

Deep water formation and Quaternary glaciations
A large fraction of climatic varability on the Quaternary time scale can be explained by nonlinear interactions between the radiation balance of the...

The statistical structure of Lorenz strange attractors
The statistical characteristic quantities and marginal probability distribution of the Lorenz strange attractors were computed numerically. The...

Waves and Instabilities in the Atmosphere
The theory of wave motions in a continuous media is one of the best-developed theories in classical fluid dynamics and special mathematical methods...
