Traditionally, water and air are so much familiar for all of us that anyone is expected to be well aware of everything related to them. However, we do understand the difficulty experienced when trying to make any prediction of the behavior of the air and water. The reason for that is that there are too many unanswered questions that seriously limit our knowledge of the subject.
We only have some general understanding of the processes causing the generation of the cyclones, tsunamis and all other phenomena. Is it possible to accurately predict the weather for tomorrow or for the next month at all? The present volume is intended to give some answers to the above questions through application of the newly introduced strategy when the one describes before he or she explains the matter.
The author starts considering the air and water at rest, or at the so-called equilibrium, and then moves towards the discussion on the various dynamic phenomena, emphasizing the larger scale structures. Most of those are covered in the volume, and then the author starts talking about the human-made structures, such as the marine ports and dams serving to make the water resources work for the human beings. More than one hundred of detailed pictures and several equations supplement the narrative text part.
