Request for extra material

You are encouraged to submit additional material on atmospheric and oceanic fluid dynamics. This material might be: (i) Discussion of material already in the book; (ii) Pedagogic material on topics not covered - for example, notes on tropical instability waves, or jets on Jupiter; (iii) Additional problems; (iv) Additional solutions. All material should be submitted in PDF form using, if possible, LaTeX. For problems and solutions, you may wish to use the template provided, sol-template.tex (see template in PDF format), and please also submit the LaTeX source. Contributions should be sent to the author . Your name and affiliation should appear on the contributions, and will also be noted on the web site itself unless you demur. Thank you very much.
