Reseña del editor: This volume contains 20 papers, including the majority of those presented at the third IMA Conference on Stably Stratified Flows. The theme of the conference was waves and turbulence in stably stratified flows, although papers covering other aspects of stably stratified flows are also included. Some papers deal with the fundamental theory of stably stratified flows, whilst others are concerned with atmospheric, oceanic and industrial applications. A wide variety of techniques is described, ranging from numerical simulation, through laboratory studies, to field observations of the atmosphere. Other papers address fundamental aspects such as turbulence collapse and local scaling. Six of the papers deal with aspects of mixing in stably stratified flows, of which four are directly concerned with industrial applications. Observations of atmospheric internal gravity waves are discussed in two papers whilst a further two report studies of rotating, stratified flows with application to large-scale atmospheric and oceanic dynamics.
