A gallery of simple models from climate physics

From MaRDI portal





The article contains a thorough presentation of different climate variation models of the atmosphere-ocean system starting from basic nonlinear partial differential equations and boundary conditions of the geophysical fluid dynamics in a rotating coordinate system. The analysis deals with effects such as the heat and radiation transfer, water evaporation and turbulent motions, and considers phenomena on a short and long time scales. This includes a radiative-convective model of the atmosphere, the ocean mixed layer, El Niño phenomenon, driven horizontal ocean circulation, Benard convection, and low frequency atmospheric circulation among others. Many of the subchapters are followed by the literature for further reading and a very useful list of 88 references is given at the end of the article. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0961.00022].
