Aims of the course To learn the basic concept of atmospheric instability, frontal surfaces, kinematic and energetics of atmosphere.
Learning outcomes Students should be able to apply the basic methods of atmosphere stability, to learn the basic procedures of obtaining the governing equations of atmosphere and the methods of kinematic and energetics of atmosphere.
Contents of the course
Lectures 1. Hydrostatic stability (parcel method, layer method). 2. Hydrostatic instability. 3. Vorticity equation. 4. Divergence equation. 5. Pressure tendency equation. 6.Geopotential tendency equation. 7. Omega equation; Q vector. 8. Converting internal and potential energy into the kinetic energy of divergent and vorticity motion. 9. Dispersion of kinetic energy in the atmosphere due to friction. 10. Converting energy when stationary air circulation in the atmosphere. 11. Converting energy due to changing the position of cold and warm air mass. 12. Disorders caused by orography. 13. Lyre's theory of stationary orographic waves. 14.
