| Main themes |
Advanced notions of ocean and atmosphere thermodynamics
(radiative transfer; aerosols, cloud micro-physics, cloud-radiation
interactions) ; Advanced notions of atmospheric dynamics (shallow- water and quasi-geostrophic approximations; vorticity and potential
vorticity; tropical and extratropical waves; baroclinic instability,
plus a number of optional subjects such as tides, tropical weather
systems and subtropical anticyclones and Charney-Stern theorem);
thermodynamics and dynamics of sea-ice.

| Aims |
The student will acquire advanced notions and skills in
physics and dynamics of atmosphere, preparing him to academic
research in these domains.

Summary : The course is split into a number of classroom lectures and
tutored reading using, as a tool, the local library. PHY2150 is a pre- requisite. The studend will be marked on the basis of a personal work
and an oral examination on a pre-agreed, well-delineated subject.
