ATMS 521
Advanced Atmospheric Dynamics

Credit:  4 hours.


Introduces the language and methods of modern atmospheric dynamics, covering the areas of atmospheric waves, dynamical instabilities, and wave-mean flow interactions. Emphasis is on gaining a physical understanding of atmospheric motions from planetary down to gravity wave scales, and on solving dynamical problems that arise in research. Prerequisite: ATMS 402 or consent of instructor.
