本課程目的為培養學生深入掌握閱讀與分析颱風動力專業論文，瞭解一些颱風研究的重要里程碑、關鍵問題本質、以及開展颱風研究新的想法。課內優先最近十年來的颱風研究的新想法與突破，課程對象為研究生或是高年級大學生。
This course studies recent typhoon research papers. It is hoped that the students will learn recent progresses in typhoon research, understand the basic scientific problems, and develop research proposals. The evaluation will be based on the class performance, paper summary, and an end term short research proposal. The students will be required to read the supporting articles and to present in the class.


This short course covers the fundamentals of fluid dynamics, which may be useful for people who are interested in understanding in the physics, chemistry, and/or biology of Earth’s fluid environment.

(1) Dimensional analysis and multiple scale perturbation analysis
(2) Viscosity, implications in physics and biology
(3) Levi-Civita symbol, Euler equation, and Navier- Stokes equation
(4) Vorticity dynamics
(5) Boundary layer dynamics
(6) Wave and instability dynamics
(7) Buoyancy convections
