This volume, number 109 of the Les Houches Summer School series,
presents the lectures held in August 2017 on the subject of
turbulent flows in climate dynamics. Leading scientists in the
fields of climate dynamics, atmosphere and ocean dynamics,
geophysical fluid dynamics, physics and non-linear sciences present
their views on this fast growing and interdisciplinary field of
research, by venturing upon fundamental problems of atmospheric
convection, clouds, large scale circulation, and predictability.
Climate is controlled by turbulent flows. Turbulent motions are
responsible for the bulk of the transport of energy, momentum, and
water vapor in the atmosphere, which determine the distribution of
temperature, winds, and precipitation on Earth. The aim of this
book is to survey what is known about how turbulent flows control
climate, what role they may play in climate change, and to outline
where progress in this important area can be expected, given
today's computational and observational capabilities. This book
reviews the state-of-the-art developments in this field and
provides an essential background to future studies. All chapters
are written from a pedagogical perspective, making the book
accessible to masters and PhD students and all researchers wishing
to enter this field.
