(English) Zbl 0748.76009 The IMA Volumes in Mathematics and its Applications. 40. New York: Springer-Verlag. 259 p. (1992). [The articles of this volume will not be indexed individually.]This IMA volume is based on the proceedings of a workshop which was an integral part of the 1989-90 IMA program on “Dynamical systems and their applications”. The topics discussed are turbulence phenomena, Rossby waves, dynamics of vortices, breaking of waves and the dynamics of vector fields. Color plates are inserted for the presentation of data.
