Показать описание
When wind blows in the atmosphere, air near the surface rubs against the Earth’s surface. Friction then plays an important role in the balance of forces. As a result, there will be layers in between the lower air near the surface and the free atmosphere above. We are going to examine these boundary layers in rotating fluid, which is an analogue of layers in the atmosphere. These layers are known as the Ekman layers.
