Special Session 11: Advances in Classical and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
Geophysical Fluid Dynamics (GFD) came of age in the 1950s and 1960s, with the mathematically inspired work of Charney, Lorenz, Stommel, Veronis and von Neumann, among others. In the last twenty years or so, mathematical, statistical and numerical developments for the Navier-Stokes equations and basic geophysical fluid dynamics models are stimulating a deepening and broadening of its central con...
متن کاملPredictability and Dynamics of Geophysical Fluid Flows
The central objective of my research in this project is to understand the mathematical and physical connections between the bred-growing-mode and singular vector techniques recently developed for numerical weather prediction, the Lyapunov vectors and exponents of dynamical systems theory, and instability theories of geophysical fluid dynamics. My intent is to gain insight into fundamental mathe...
متن کاملEntropic Forces in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
Theories and numerical models of atmospheres and oceans are based on classical mechanics with added parameterizations to represent subgrid variability. Reformulated in terms of derivatives of information entropy with respect to large scale configurations, we find systematic forces very different from those usually assumed. Two examples are given. We see that entropic forcing by ocean eddies sys...
متن کاملGeophysical Fluid Dynamics: a survival kit
If I change the rotation rate of Earth, what happens to the circulation? Start with Hadley cell; what is a relevant conserved quantity for air parcels uplifted by a Hadley cell? How does that relate to winds away from the equator? How does that related to winds in mid-latitude & in part, to meteorological activity there? Why is there a Hadley cell? If an air parcel in the northern hemisphere is...
متن کاملLagrangian and Hamiltonian Methods in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
This note is an introduction to the variational formulation of fluid dynamics and the geometrical structures thus made apparent. A central theme is the role of continuous symmetries and the associated conservation laws. These are used to reduce more complex to simpler ones, and to study the stability of such systems. Many of the illustrations are taken from models arising from geophysical fluid...
