Atmospheric dynamics encompasses all physical processes within atmospheres, including global and regional-scale circulation, convection, tropical and extratropical cyclones, and interannual ...

For example, hurricanes thrive in low wind shear environments because it allows warm, moist air to rise uninterrupted, feeding the storm's development. Conversely, thunderstorms benefit from the ...

Between 15,000 and 8,000 years ago, the Earth experienced significant climatic changes, including the rapid retreat of ice ...

An education in Dynamics at CU-Boulder emphasizes study of motions on all scales. The atmosphere and the ocean are treated equally, as many of the most critical research problems from a societal point ...

Atmospheric science is the study of the dynamics and chemistry of the layers of gas that surround the Earth, other planets and moons. This encompasses the interactions between various parts of the ...

atmospheric storms, oceanic eddies. Students will acquire the tools to address these topics through basic knowledge of the fluid dynamics and chemical principles relevant to the ocean and atmosphere.

The Greenland Ice Sheet is the largest ice mass in the Northern Hemisphere, and it’s melting rapidly. Climate change is causing more intense atmospheric rivers, which can deliver intense snowfall — ...
