The dynamics of flows in density-stratified fluids are an  important topic for scientific enquiry. Flows arise in many contexts,  ranging from industrial settings to the oceanic and atmospheric  environments. Both the ocean and atmosphere are characterized by the  basic vertical density stratification, and this feature can affect the  dynamics on all scales ranging from the micro-scale to the planetary  scale. This volume provides a state-of-the-art account of stratified  flows as they are relevant to the ocean and atmosphere, with a primary  focus on meso-scale phenomena; that is, phenomena whose time and space  scales are such that the density stratification is a dominant effect,  so that frictional and diffusive effects on the one hand and the  effects of the earth's rotation on the other, can be regarded as of  less importance.   Environmental Stratified Flows is essential to researchers in  the field of oceanography, coastal and marine engineering, and  environmental fluid dynamics.
