Tsunamis and Hurricanes : A Mathematical Approach
Tsunamis and hurricanes are natural catastrophes which can make cons- erable material damage and personal harm to humans. Any possibility to describe these phenomena and to ?nd methods of predictability of any kind seem therefore to be of interest not only for meteorologists, but also for government...
