Lecture notes include a list contents, an abstract, a reference list, but not an index…
A good learning method is to make your own index

Prior knowledge I assume that the student is familiar with the thermodynamic concepts of temperature and pressure of a fluid or gas, and with the conservation laws governing the fluid in a rotating frame of reference.
![Page 10: Lecture 1 Atm Dyn 2014](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020219/563dbbb9550346aa9aafba22/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Prior knowledge I assume that the reader is familiar with the thermodynamic concepts of temperature and pressure of a fluid or gas, and with the conservation laws governing the fluid in a rotating frame of reference.
The first part of course consists of sections 1.1-1.11 and 1.13-1.39. If you have passed the bachelors course Geophysical Fluid Dynamics, you will be familiar with the subject matter of sections 1.1-1.8.

Book
Holton, J.R., 2004: An Introduction to Dynamic Meteorology, fourth edition. Academic Press, 535pp. The first (1972), second (1979) and third (1992) edition are also very useful.
A fifth edition of Holton’s book has appeared in 2012 with Gregory Hakim as co-author.

Central Question
John Dutton has phrased it in the following way.
“The basic problems of atmospheric dynamics revolve around the question of why the observed responses are those that are chosen”
The atmosphere responds to the inhomogeneous distribution of insolation by adjusting to some kind of balance of forces.

Questions Why does de air rotate anticlockwise? Why does the wind direction change with height? Why does the wind speed change with height? What determines the cloud pattern?

Conceptual Model Typical flow pattern between two isobaric surfaces (1000 hPa is near the Earth’s surface; 500 hPa is at about 5 km above sea level) in a mid-latitude baroclinically unstable disturbance in the northern hemisphere. The warm air rises along very slanted trajectories, giving rise to layered clouds as shown on the next slide…
