Скачать или смотреть 09.1.0: Dynamic Meteorology: Scale Analysis: Determining a Time Scale

This is a selection and collection of lectures in Dynamic Meteorology.

I consider scale analysis one of the most important skills for dynamic meteorology, science, and, in fact, it is a useful life skill. How do I quickly analyze a situation and compare one thing to another?


In this lecture, how do we define a time scale. It relies on distance = time x speed.


The Rossby number is introduced. The question is asked, in the amount of time it takes a parcel to move through a characteristic distance in a characteristic time does the Earth rotate enough to matter?
