Aims & Scope

Geophysical and Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics exists for the publication of original research papers and short communications, occasional survey articles and conference reports on the fluid mechanics of the earth and planets, including oceans, atmospheres and interiors, and the fluid mechanics of the sun, stars and other astrophysical objects. In addition, their magnetohydrodynamic behaviours are investigated. Experimental, theoretical and numerical studies of rotating, stratified and convecting fluids of general interest to geophysicists and astrophysicists appear. Properly interpreted observational results are also published.
