Speakers

5 lectures on:
Fundamental fluid mechanics in rotating and stratified flows, including convection regimes (Rayleigh-Bénard, horizontal, vertical) and generic wave properties (internal gravity, inertial, nonlinear and wave-mean-flow interactions).

5 lectures on: 
Ocean fluid dynamics, including fundamental force balances and energy budget, oceanic waves across scales, boundary processes at the ocean bottom and poles, turbulence and mixing parameterization, and subsurface oceans of icy moons.

5 lectures on:
Atmospheric fluid dynamics, including the basic structure of the Earth's atmosphere, general circulation, energetic regimes and instabilities, and atmospheric wave-driven periodic flows (QBO, MJO).

5 practical sessions 
using the open-source solver Dedalus. Each day, an illustrative problem is presented and simulated by students on their laptops, e.g. Rayleigh-Bénard convection, 2D turbulence, wave generation and propagation, and moist convection.

5 lectures on:
Fundamental fluid mechanics in rotating and stratified flows, including the most common instabilities (barotropic, baroclinic, inertial) and basic properties of turbulence (3D, 2D, rapidly rotating, strongly stratified).

5 lectures on:
Planetary cores and subsurface-ocean dynamics, including fundamental questions on planetary fluid layers, what rotation reveals about internal structure, precession, libration and tides, application to the lunar core, and laboratory dynamo.
