商品描述

This book describes a recent effort combining interdisciplinary expertise within the Collaborative Research Centre “Energy transfers in atmosphere and ocean” (TRR-181), which was funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). Energy transfers between the three dynamical regimes – small-scale turbulence, internal gravity waves and geostrophically balanced motion – are fundamental to the energy cycle of both the atmosphere and the ocean. Nonetheless, they remain poorly understood and quantified, and have yet to be adequately represented in today’s climate models.

Since interactions between the dynamical regimes ultimately link the smallest scales to the largest ones through a range of complex processes, understanding these interactions is essential to constructing atmosphere and ocean models and to predicting the future climate. To this end, TRR 181 combines expertise in applied mathematics, meteorology, and physical oceanography.

This book provides an overview of representative specific topics addressed by TRR 181, ranging from  

- a review of a coherent hierarchy of models using consistent scaling and approximations, and revealing the underlying Hamiltonian structure
 - a systematic derivation and implementation of stochastic and backscatter parameterisations
 - an exploration of the dissipation of large-scale mean or eddying balanced flow and ocean eddy parameterisations; and
 - a study on gravity wave breaking and mixing, the interaction of waves with the mean flow and stratification, wave-wave interactions and gravity wave parameterisations

to topics of a more numerical nature such as the spurious mixing and dissipation of advection schemes, and direct numerical simulations of surface waves at the air-sea interface.

In TRR 181, the process-oriented topics presented here are complemented by an operationally oriented synthesis focusing on two climate models currently being developed in Germany. In this way, the goal of TRR 181 is to help reduce the biases in and increase the accuracy of atmosphere and ocean models, and ultimately to improve climate models and climate predictions.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書描述了一項最近的努力,結合了跨學科的專業知識,來自於德國研究基金會(DFG)資助的合作研究中心「大氣與海洋中的能量轉移」(TRR-181)。小尺度湍流、內部重力波和地轉平衡運動這三種動力學範疇之間的能量轉移,對於大氣和海洋的能量循環至關重要。然而,這些轉移仍然不夠理解和量化,並且在當今的氣候模型中尚未得到充分的表現。

由於動力學範疇之間的相互作用最終將最小尺度與最大尺度通過一系列複雜的過程聯繫起來,因此理解這些相互作用對於構建大氣和海洋模型以及預測未來氣候至關重要。為此,TRR 181結合了應用數學、氣象學和物理海洋學的專業知識。

這本書提供了TRR 181所探討的代表性特定主題的概述,包括:
- 使用一致的縮放和近似的連貫模型層次結構的回顧,揭示潛在的哈密頓結構
- 隨機和反向散射參數化的系統推導和實施
- 大尺度平均流或渦流平衡流的耗散及海洋渦流參數化的探索
- 重力波破裂和混合的研究,波與平均流和分層的相互作用,波與波之間的相互作用以及重力波參數化

還有一些更數值性質的主題,例如擾動混合和對流方案的耗散,以及在空氣-海洋界面上進行的表面波的直接數值模擬。

在TRR 181中,這裡呈現的過程導向主題與一個操作導向的綜合研究相輔相成,專注於目前在德國開發的兩個氣候模型。通過這種方式,TRR 181的目標是幫助減少大氣和海洋模型中的偏差,提高其準確性,最終改善氣候模型和氣候預測。
