Information - AS1.05 Recent developments in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
Event Information
Geophysical Fluid Dynamics (GFD) is a truly interdisciplinary field, including different topics dealing with rotating stratified fluids. It emerges in the late 50s, when scientists from meteorology, oceanography, astrophysics, geological fluid dynamics, and applied mathematics began to mathematically model complex flows and thereby unify these fields. Since then many new aspects were added and deeper insight into many problems has been achieved.
New mathematical and statistical tools were developed, standard techniques were refined, classical problems were varied. Through the application of such tools and techniques to the established conceptual models of GFD we got more clarity on the dynamics of rotating stratified fluids.
In this session we primarily focus on contributions from dynamic meteorology and physical oceanography that model flows by mathematical analysis. However, it is also a forum for experimental GFD and for astrophysical and geological aspects of GFD as well.
