Instability in homogeneous and density stratified shear flows may be interpreted in terms of
the interaction of two (or more) otherwise free waves in the velocity and density profiles …

The development of tropical depressions within tropical waves over the Atlantic and eastern
Pacific is usually preceded by a" surface low along the wave" as if to suggest a hybrid wave …

Rossby waves are a pervasive feature of the large-scale motions of the Earth's atmosphere
and oceans. These waves (also known as planetary waves and r-modes) also play an …

Instabilities are present in all natural fluids from rivers to atmospheres. This book considers
the physical processes that generate instability. Part I describes the normal mode …

Rotating Thermal Flows in Natural and Industrial Processes provides the reader with a
systematic description of the different types of thermal convection and flow instabilities in …

It is shown that Bretherton's view of baroclinic instability as the interaction of two counter‐
propagating Rossby waves (CRWs) can be extended to a general zonal flow and to a …

The Rossby wave instability (RWI) is the fundamental nonaxisymmetric radial shear
instability in disks. The RWI can facilitate disk accretion, set the shape of planetary gaps, and …

The optimal dynamics of conservative disturbances to plane parallel shear flows is
interpreted in terms of the propagation and mutual interaction of components called …

Homboe (Geophys. Publ., vol. 24, 1962, pp. 67–112) postulated that resonant interaction
between two or more progressive, linear interfacial waves produces exponentially growing …

We relate the model of vorticity wave interaction to Krein collision, PT-symmetry breaking,
and the formation of exceptional points in shear flow instabilities. We show that the …
