Entropic 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 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 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 کاملBrown receives Brown award for teaching excellence
The contraversial resolution passed last week was: Be it resolved: That the SA must assert its will in matters of student rights; That among the foremost of these rights is the right to associate with students of all social classes — that any student who meets other entrance requirements of Rioe University is entitled to a Rice education regardless of ability to pay. That Rice University's admi...
متن کاملEfficient nonlinear data-assimilation in geophysical fluid dynamics
New ways of combining observations with numerical models are discussed in which the size of the state space can be very large, and the model can be highly nonlinear. Also the observations of the system can be related to the model variables in highly nonlinear ways, making this data-assimilation (or inverse) problem highly nonlinear. First we discuss the connection between data assimilation and ...
