A research-level book on methods used to study the generation and evolution of baroclinic tides, first published in 2005.

1. General background; 2. Linear baroclinic tides over variable bottom topography; 3. Combined effect of horizontal density gradient and bottom topography in the dynamics of linear baroclinic tides; 4. Topographic generation of nonlinear baroclinic tides; 5. Evolutionary stages of baroclinic tides; 6. Generation mechanism at different background conditions; 7. Three-dimensional effects of baroclinic tides.
