Systematization
of previous Dynamic meteorology studies during BSc.
Hydro-thermodynamic system of equations and scale-dependent simplifications.
Closure problem. The scale analysis of the equations, balance motions. Ageostrophic motions. Circulation theory. The vorticity and divergence equations and their
meteorological applications in synoptic and mesoscale processes. Tendency
equation. Rossby-waves. Development of cyclonic
systems. The role of potential vorticity in the
evolution of atmospheric processes. Discontinuity surfaces, frontogenesis, formation and development of frontal
systems. The aim of
the practices is to increase the problem solving ability of the students
(balance motion, fronts, divergence, vorticity,
potential vorticity, atmospheric waves, frontal
systems), FORTRAN programming. |
