Ocean Dynamics and Modeling . GEOG 262

Covers topics in oceanic fluid dynamics through the lens of theory and computer simulation. The course blends theoretical treatment of oceanic dynamical regimes (e.g., gyres, coastal upwelling) with hands-on experience designing and analyzing simulations. Topics may vary, but can include: the primitive equations, numerical techniques, gyre-scale circulation, quasi-geostrophic and mesoscale dynamics, internal waves, coastal processes, and boundary layer turbulence. Students gain experience running a community-standard ocean circulation model in a high-performance computing environment. Class sessions comprise lectures, student-led discussion of papers or topics, and dedicated time for simulation design and analysis.
