Energetically Consistent Climate Modelling - Part 1
Offered By: International Centre for Theoretical Sciences via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the fundamentals of energetically consistent climate modeling in this lecture from the "Theoretical and Practical Perspectives in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics" program. Delve into the complexities of Earth's climate system, focusing on atmospheric and oceanic dynamics across multiple temporal and spatial scales. Examine the challenges of quantifying energy transfers between these scales and the importance of energy-consistent closure in ocean and climate models. Learn about the role of parametrizations in representing turbulent mixing and instabilities, and understand the need for combining analytical theories, numerical models, and observational measurements to advance our understanding of geophysical fluid dynamics. Gain insights into topics such as eddies, waves, turbulence, instabilities, frontal dynamics, and energy cascades as they relate to climate modeling.
