You may not understand what these are if you aren’t familiar with atmosphere-ocean science. Don’t sweat it, it’s a demonstration!
| Topic | Count | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Boundary Layers | 1 | Transitional regions between fluids, or a fluid and a solid boundary (such as the ocean floor) |
| Fluid Dynamics | 2 | Straight-up fluid dynamics. Not necessarily directly connected to GFD, but tests concepts that are essential to understanding fluid flow behavior. |
| Geostrophic Adjustment | 1 | The emergence of geostrophic balance from unbalanced initial conditions. |
| QG | 1 | Quasi-geostrophy. A framework that augments geostrophic balance with higher-order ageostrophic tendencies. |
| Shallow Water Equations | 3 | The shallow water equations provide a valuable framework for studying rotating, low aspect-ratio, barotropic flows. |
| Thermodynamics | 1 | The four laws. Entropy. Enthalpy. Internal energy. Basic material. |
