1. ABOUT THE DISCIPLINE 'DYNAMIC METEOROLOGY' The name 'dynamic
meteorology' is traditional for designating a university course as
well as the scientific branch of meteorology as a whole. While
there is no need to abandon this name, it needs contemporary
treatment and specifications in its definition. A synonym for it
could be 'dynamics (more precisely, hydrodynamics or fluid
dynamics) of the atmosphere'. It suggests the relationship of this
discipline to general hydrodynamics and applied mathematics and its
pronounced theoretical nature. Besides the atmosphere, however, our
planet has another (liquid) envelope - the hydrosphere (world's
ocean), which also concerns ocean dynamics and, therefore, it is
necessary to define, from a unified standpoint, the subject and
aims of the disciplines dealing with the dynamics of the processes
which take place in both fluid spheres. Such a unified standpoint
offers the so-called geophysical fluid dynamics. During the past
few years this description is encountered quite often in scientific
literature concerning the Earth as a planet. Obviously, a
scientific branch or a science is created whose subject is our
planet and the investigation methods are borrowed from classical
fluid dynamics and applied mathematics, including the most recent
numerical methods. As can be seen from its very suitable name, it
is the dynamics of quite definite geophysical fluids (atmosphere,
ocean and even the liquid inside of the Earth) and not of some
abstract (often perfect) flUids, as in classical hydrodynamics.
