Overview
- Emphasizes a subject matter of interdisciplinary interest for meteorology, oceanography, physics and applied mathematics
- Provides a detailed derivation of the equations of motion from conserved quantities and from system symmetries
- Focuses in particular on the analysis and consequences of particle relabeling symmetry
- Applies results to different approximations, such as the semi-geostrophic equations, and different relations, such as the conservation of wave activity
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
