Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches: Basic knowlegde of partial differential equations and linear algebra, as well as fundamentals in classical mechanics and fluid mechanics is highly desirable.
Inhalt: The lecture will cover fundamental theories of balanced and unbalanced modes of atmospheric motion and will discuss secondary circulations as a response to perturbations of balance. Specifically, we will discuss: - balanced and unbalanced motion in the shallow water model - 3D quasi-geostrophic theory and the omega equation - baroclinic instability - Eliassen secondary circulation - 3D Rossby waves - internal gravity waves - 3D and 2D turbulence
Empfohlene Literatur: A comprehensive script by Prof. Wirth is available. As preparation for this course, I highly recommend a summary of basic fluid dynamical concepts and results available at: https://seafile.rlp.net/f/93506967a9ea49f1b6e1/
Zusätzliche Informationen: The lecture will be given in English.
Digitale Lehre: The lecture will be in presence. If a pandemic situation re-occured we will switch to a digital format.
