| Title |
Specialist Course - Introduction to Atmospheric Circulation and Modes of Variability |
| Description |
This topic of this lecture is the general atmospheric circulation and modes of variability. The basis to understand the atmospheric circulation is fluid dynamics applied to the atmosphere. Thus, the course will first introduce the dynamical and thermodynamical equations necessary to understand the atmospheric dynamics. Then these equations are simplified to gain understanding in midlatitude dynamics. There, the quasi-geostrophic equations deliver a first understanding how waves develop and grow. The budget of angular momentum and energy will give insight why we observe meridional overturning cells in the atmosphere and why mid latitude waves are so important in transporting energy from the equator to the poles. Finally, the statistical description of atmospheric phenomena is a different viewpoint on the atmospheric circulation. In this respect modes of variability such as El Nino Southern Oscillation or the North Atlantic Oscillation will be presented.
