This is an introduction students to the basic concepts of dynamic meteorology to help students better understand the geophysical fluid dynamics phenomena ranging from the physical laws governing atmospheric motion to forces acting on a fluid element. Topics on the applications of divergence, convergence and vorticity to atmospheric circulations will be covered. Students will also treat atmospheric turbulence as a function of atmospheric instabilities.
