PDEs and Asymptotics for the Tropical Atmosphere
Student-Run Research Seminar| Speaker: | Joseph Biello, UC Davis |
| Location: | 693 Kerr |
| Start time: | Wed, Nov 16 2005, 12:10PM |
Abstract: The dynamics of the tropical atmosphere are organized over an extremely broad range of length and time scales. I will discuss some recent multiscale asymptotics which isolate certain intraseasonal phenomena in the tropics and, in which, new and interesting quasi-linear and nonlinear PDEs have been derived. I intend this talk to be a broad, pedagogical overview of the subject and will emphasize current research areas.
