Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The course assumes that students already have a good understanding of the fundamentals of atmospheric dynamics and presents an advanced treatment of the following topics. (1) Approximations of the governing equations (Boussinesq, anelastic, hydrostatic) and their limits of applicability, with special emphasis on filtering approximations. (2) Wave dynamics, with special emphasis on internal gravity waves and equatorial waves. (3) Dynamic instabilities at different scales (baroclinic, symmetric, shear and thermal instabilities). (4) Vorticity dynamics at different scales, including a treatment of the mechanisms of supercell storms, hurricanes and lee cyclogenesis. (5) Potential vorticity and PV inversion.
Assessment and permitted materials
Final oral exam, 3 questions, approximately 45 minutes.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Minimum requirement: Demonstrated ability to describe and discuss the dynamics of atmospheric motion.
Grading system for the final oral exam:
