Teaching and Courses

Courses I have taught over the years include:

• Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
• Climate Dynamics
• Atmospheric General Circulation
• Dynamical Oceanography
• Geostrophic turbulence
• Python for beginners
• Computational Physics

Some of these courses developed into the books in the left column.

The Books on the Left

'Essentials' (350 pp) is an introductory book written at the level of upper-division undergraduates or beginning graduate students, for students and scientists who are not 'professional dynamicists' and who may not wish for all the detail.

'Atmospheric and Oceanic Fluid Dynamics' (950 pp) is a more complete and more advanced book, suitable for students who want a more detailed view as well as for practising scientists.

'Climate and the Oceans' (250 pp) is a semi-popular science book, written to bridge the gap between popular science books and more advanced treatises like the ones above.

Woods Hole Lectures

In 2014 I gave the lectures at the GFD Summer School at Walsh Cottage, Woods Hole, on aspects of the large-scale structure of the atmosphere and ocean. You can download a draft of the notes here:
