A reference on the tachocline for researchers and graduates in astrophysics, heliospheric physics, and fluid and plasma dynamics.
'Many of the challenging problems discussed will probably be with
us for decades, so the book will become a valuable source, both for
established workers and graduate students. It should certainly be
in the library of every university with research schools in stellar
astrophysics, geophysics, and in basic hydrodynamics and plasma
physics.' The Observatory
'…the book will be the standard reference on the subject.'
