Randomness in Dynamical Systems - Lecture 2

Explore the concept of randomness in dynamical systems in this second lecture by Jin-Song von Storch, part of the program on Theoretical and Practical Perspectives in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics. Delve into the complexities of Earth's climate, focusing on atmospheric and oceanic dynamics across various temporal and spatial scales. Examine multi-scale interactions, energy transfers, and the challenges in quantifying these processes. Learn about the importance of combining analytical theories, numerical models, and observational measurements to advance understanding of geophysical fluid dynamics. Gain insights into topics such as eddies, waves, turbulence, instabilities, frontal dynamics, energy cascades, parameterizations, and stochastic aspects of climate modeling. This 47-minute lecture, hosted by the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences, is part of a comprehensive two-week program bringing together cutting-edge research in geophysical fluid dynamics.
