課程目標
Earth’s atmosphere and ocean exhibit complex patterns of fluid motion over a wide range of space and time scales. The slow-manifold dynamics, as well as the scale interactions, are of vital importance. This is a special short course focusing on the large-scale atmosphere-ocean fluid dynamics (AOFD), the geostrophic turbulence (i.e., 2D turbulence) dynamics and some related topics. The theory of geostrophic turbulence relies on two important components: a conservation principle that energy and potential vorticity are nearly conserved and an irreversibility principle that breaks the time-reversal symmetry of the exact inviscid dynamics. The AOFD can be understood quite simply in the form of isentropic fluid dynamics. The course may be useful for people who are interested in the understanding of the climate, weather, physics, chemistry, and/or biology of Earth’s fluid environment.
