Synopsis "advection and diffusion in random media"

the book presents the foundations of the theory of turbulent transport within the context of stochastic partial differential equations. it serves to establish a firm connection between rigorous and non-rigorous results concerning turbulent diffusion. mathematically all of the issues addressed in this book are concentrated around a single linear equation: stochastic advection-diffusion (transport) equation. there is no attempt made to derive universal statistics for turbulent flow. instead emphasis is placed on a statistical description of a passive scalar (tracer) under given velocity statistics. an application concerning transport of sea surface temperature anomalies reconciles the developed theory and a highly practical issue of modern physical oceanography by using the newly designed inversion techniques which take advantage of powerful maximum likelihood and autoregressive estimators. audience: graduate students and researchers in mathematics, fluid dynamics, and physical oceanography.
