This article discusses the role of geophysical fluid dynamics (GFD) in understanding the
natural environment, and in particular the dynamics of atmospheres and oceans on Earth …

Geophysical fluid dynamics examines the dynamics of stratified and turbulent motion of
fluids in the ocean and outer core, and of gases in the atmosphere. This book explains key …

This study investigates the adjustment of large‐scale localized buoyancy anomalies in mid‐
latitude regions and the nonlinear evolution of associated condensation patterns in both …

By means of a new multilayer pseudo‐spectral moist‐convective thermal rotating shallow‐
water (mcTRSW) model in a full sphere, we present a possible equatorial adjustment …

This study makes the case that monsoon depressions over South Asia can form from a
variant of moist barotropic instability. Using an idealized numerical framework in which the …

Transient, synoptic-scale vortices produce a large fraction of total rainfall in most monsoon
regions and are often associated with extreme precipitation. However, the mechanism of …

We report a discovery of steady long-living slowly eastward moving large-scale coherent
twin cyclones, the equatorial modons, in the shallow water model in the equatorial beta …

Using the two‐layer moist‐convective rotating shallow‐water model, we study the process of
relaxation (adjustment) of localized large‐scale pressure anomalies in the lower equatorial …

In this study, we demonstrate the dynamical core and applicability of Aeolus 2.0, a moist-
convective thermal rotating shallow water model of intermediate complexity, along with its …

We show how the moist-convective rotating shallow water model, where the moist
convection and the related latent heat release are incorporated into the standard rotating …
