Theory of the general circulation of atmospheres and oceans - lecture 1

By Geoffrey Vallis

Lecture 1: General Structure of Atmospheres on Earth-like planets. (Theory of Hadley Cells, tropics vs midlatitudes, scales of motion etc). Lecture 2: Circulation of Atmospheres on Earth-like planets (Theory of surface westerlies, jet theory, etc.) Lecture 3: Vertical structure of Atmospheres. (Radiative-convective balance, theory of height and temperature of tropopause, etc). Effects of Moisture .Lecture 4: Superrotation and other Exotic Phenomena (Terrestrial atmospheres and giant planet atmospheres, like Jupiter.) Lecture 5: Ocean Circulation on Earth and icy moons (Sideways convection, the meridional overturning circulation.).
