Course Description: ATMO 336 is the first of a two-course sequence presenting an introduction to fluid dynamics in the atmosphere. The present course is divided roughly into three parts. Part 1 reviews the basic laws of fluid statics and provides an overview of fluid kinematics. The second part considers the fundamental forces at work in the atmosphere and then develops some approximate diagnostic relations for application to large-scale flows. The remainder of the course then develops the full mathematical description of fluid mechanics in preparation for ATMO 435. [ syllabus ]
