This
lecture note provides an introduction to basic ideas of geophysical wave motion
in rotating, stratified, and rotating-stratified fluids. Subject begins with
general wave concepts of phase and group velocity. It also covers the dynamics
and kinematics of gravity waves with a focus on dispersion, energy flux, initial
value problems, etc.
