Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book derives, solves, and assesses the Langevin Stochastic Equations (LSE) as a tool for treating turbulent flows. Previous work has demonstrated the LSE's ability to successfully describe non-geophysical turbulent flows. However, this book specifically focuses on geophysical flows. Chapter I addresses the modeling of oceanic mesoscales (M) and sub-mesoscales (SM), while Chapter II discusses vertical mixing.The target audience for this book is advanced students and researchers interested in future climate change and the crucial role played by the ocean. One of the main challenges in describing oceanic M and SM is that they are governed by non-linear interactions for which no satisfactory model exists. Despite the unsuccessful attempts to describe non-linearity using the traditional Navier-Stokes Equations (NSE), heuristic models continue to be used. This has created a dilemma: while future climate projections need to be predictive, the heuristic treatment of M and SM lacks predictive power, leading to an internal inconsistency.The primary goal of this book is to demonstrate that the transition from NSE to LSE resolves this inconsistency, paving the way for a fully predictive treatment of M and SM. This advancement is crucial for providing future climate predictions with the credibility they require.

paperback. Condición: Very Good. Prima edizione. In apertura, dedica e firma dell'Autore a noto esponente politico di allora - Brossura editoriale di 235 pagine. Timbro a secco di copia omaggio al retro di copertina, peraltro ottima copia, probabilmente mai letta, di un saggio di difficile reperibilità -- Dal giorno di Hiroshima a oggi, il mondo ha accumulato circa cinquantamila bombe nucleari. Quali difese abbiamo? Nessuna, perché i trattati stipulati dalle due superpotenze proibiscono tassativamente di difendere la popolazione civile. Per lunghi anni, infatti, si è postulato che la rappresaglia contro la popolazione civile costituisse l'unico modo di realizzare la deterrenza. Vendetta anziché difesa: in pratica, «non attaccateci perché altrimenti distruggeremo la vostra società». E importante sottolineare l'aspetto paradossale (e anche per certi versi moralmente ripugnante) di questo equilibrio alle soglie della follia. La breccia si aprì con il varo del programma SDI, che intende basare la deterrenza sulla difesa anziché sulla vendetta. In questo libro l'autore illustra le novità strategiche introdotte dallo scudo spaziale e analizza i contenuti scientifici e tecnologici dei vari aspetti dell'Iniziativa di difesa strategica, varata da Ronald Reagan nel 1983. E un'opera a due facce: nella prima si analizza in termini geopolitici e strategici il «patto faustiano» che da anni vincola USA e URSS nelle possibilità di reciproca distruzione nucleare; nella seconda invece viene condotto un esame tecnico degli strumenti operativi sviluppati nell'ambito dei programmi di ricerca sullo scudo spaziale, valutandone efficacia, costi politici, conseguenze economiche. Si procede infine a un equilibrato e imparziale bilancio sulle prospettive di realizzazione dell'SDI: un progetto che, nonostante alcuni fraintendimenti della stampa italiana, è quanto mai vivo nell'agenda dell'amministrazione Bush e presenta dividendi economici di rilievo per la ricerca e l'industria. // INDICE: Prefazione. - Parte prima: La difesa nell'era nucleare. - I.
