Place
of the course |
Louvain-la-Neuve
|
| Main themes |
General characteristics of the atmosphere; diabatic processes and
greenhouse effect; dry air thermodynamics ; vertical (in-)stability
and convection; condensation; general equations of geophysical
fluids; large-scale atmospheric dynamics; general atmospheric
circulation; sea-water properties; boundary layers and sea-air
interactions; wind-driven and thermohaline oceanic circulations
|
| Aims |
Acquire fundamental notions of dynamical meteorology and physical
oceanography to physically understand the main large-scale
atmospheric and oceanic processes.
|
| Other information |
General lectures preparing the students to research and applications
in physical climatology. Ideally requires some prior knowledge of
fluid dynamics and thermodynamics.
The course includes class-room teaching with a number of experimental
demonstrations with a rotating water-tank. The student is marked
after an oral examination on the lecture contents.
