Prerequisite: MSC 305 Or ATM 305 and MTH 310 Or Permission of Instructor
.


ATM / MPO765 - General Circulation of the Atmosphere

Syllabus

Course Description: Course topics include structure and behavior of planetary scale motions, energy, momentum, and moisture budgets of the general circulation, and models of the general circulation and climatic change.


ATM / MPO 752 - Vortex Dynamics

Syllabus

Course Description: This course will cover fundamental to advanced topics in vortex dynamics. A review of fluid dynamics and vorticity in two dimensions will be followed by studies of vortex dynamics in three-dimensional, incompressible flow and in three-dimensional, stratified flow.
