The Balance Conundrum in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
Offered By: International Centre for Theoretical Sciences via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the complexities of geophysical fluid dynamics in this 34-minute conference talk titled "The Balance Conundrum" by Manita Chouksey. Delve into the challenges of understanding and modeling the Earth's climate system, focusing on the intricate balance between atmospheric and oceanic dynamics across multiple scales. Examine the importance of energy transfers in climate modeling and the difficulties in quantifying these processes. Learn about the need for energy-consistent closure in ocean and climate models, and how parametrizations are used to represent complex physical processes. Gain insights into the multidisciplinary approach required to advance our understanding of geophysical fluid dynamics, combining analytical theories, numerical models, and observational measurements. This talk is part of a comprehensive program on Theoretical and Practical Perspectives in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics, bringing together experts to discuss topics such as eddies, waves, turbulence, instabilities, and frontal dynamics in the context of climate science.
