Exploring Climate Dynamics Through Physics of Complex Systems

Explore climate dynamics through the lens of complex systems physics in this 40-minute lecture by Fabrizio Falasca. Delve into the multifaceted nature of Earth's climate, examining atmospheric and oceanic dynamics across various temporal and spatial scales. Investigate the intricate energy transfers and multi-scale interactions that shape our climate system. Gain insights into the challenges of quantifying these processes and their implications for energy-consistent closure in ocean and climate models. Learn about the importance of combining analytical theories, numerical models, and observational measurements to advance our understanding of geophysical fluid dynamics. This talk is part of the "Theoretical and Practical Perspectives in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics" program at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences, addressing topics such as eddies, waves, turbulence, instabilities, and frontal dynamics in the context of climate science.
