Hi all,

we'll have a last group session on Wednesday the 2nd of December. On Thursday you'll have a review session with Joe.

Ada

Hi,

I updated the recipe. Hope it works better now. If you don't find it useful, try to make one yourself as a prep for the exam.

here is a recipe for baroclinic conditions: http://folk.uio.no/adagj/GEF3450/baroclinic.pdf

If anything is unclear, please let me know.

Ada

Hi,

I know most of you feel a bit lost in streamfunctions right now, so I have made two recipes for solving the barotropic and baroclinic QGPV equation. Here is the barotropic one: http://folk.uio.no/adagj/GEF3450/barotropic.pdf

I'll post the baroclinic one later today-

Ada

In 5.3b, there should be constant mean flow, U. This problem concerns topographic waves and Eady waves, which I'll talk about on Wednesday.

Hi all---here's problem set 6:

5.1, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6

from my notes. Let me know in class if anything is unclear and I can explain. Some of the problems cover material we'll get to this week.

On Friday 20 Nov, we'll discuss exercise 4.4 and 4.5 from problem set 5. After, I'll talk about baroclinic conditions and discuss exercise 5.4 and 5.5 (if I have time).

The barotropic QG PV equation  -  why should we care?! Here is an example of a weather model based on the barotopic vorticity equation (not QG tough).Check it out:  http://lukemweather.blogspot.no/2012/05/simplest-kind-of-weather-model.html 

Ada

Please find updated versions of the exercises used in the group sessions including solutions (to most of the exercises) here: http://folk.uio.no/adagj/teaching.html . 

I did this rather fast, so let me know if you find mistakes :-)

Ada

Here are the problems for the 5th obligatory set: 4.1-4.5. Note these are from the new set of notes here on the website (modified 31 Oct. 2015)----so make sure to check the online notes first! These are due at Ada's group session on Friday 13.

Hi,

I have tried to reorganize the exercises for the group sessions to get the group sessions more in line with Joe's lectures. Feel free to work on any of the problem sets during the group sessions. You can also work on the exercises in the gfd-notes which are not part of the problem sets. I hope to make some solution sets to put online before the end of the semester, but I can't guarantee you that - for now I'll bring my solutions to the group sessions. I also posted some links where you can see some simulations of the phenomena discussed in this course. 

You'll find everything here: http://folk.uio.no/adagj/teaching.html 

Cheers,

Ada

My friend Luke has a weather blog where he explains atmospheric gfd phenomena in a very nice way. Check it out: http://lukemweather.blogspot.no/

Hi! For those of you who haven't handed in problem set 4, please hand them in asap. You can either leave the problem set in my office, my post shelf or email it to me. Ada

Hi!

Here are problems for the group session next Friday: http://folk.uio.no/adagj/GEF3450/exercises_chpt2.pdf

Ada

Here are some problems from the shallow water chapter:

2.2, 2.5, 2.6, 2.8, 2.9, 2.10

These can be due at Ada's session on 23 October.

On Friday (2nd of Oct)  we'll discuss problem set 3 and work on these exercises: http://folk.uio.no/adagj/GEF3450/exercises_midterm.pdf

Ada

Hi,

please hand in problems 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10 from the exercises on balanced flow as problem set 3 by Friday 2nd of October. If you want feedback before the midterm you need to hand in the problem set by Wednesday 30th of Sept.

Ada

The midterm is on October 6, from kl 10-13, in the store fysiske lesesal in the Fysikkbygningen (Physics building). We'll have a review session during one of the hours on Thursday, October 1. I can any questions you have (or try!) then.

Joe

Please find an updated version of the exercises will discuss on Friday: http://folk.uio.no/adagj/GEF3450/problem_set2.pdf

Problem set 3 will be based on these exercises, so if you come to the group session on Friday (note change of time 9:15-11 am), you'll be well prepared. 

Ada 

Hi,

I have to move the group session on Friday (25.09). Let's meet from 9:15-11 am. 

Ada

Hi,

here are exercises on balanced flow. We'll discuss the exercises on Friday 25th of Sept. http://folk.uio.no/adagj/GEF3450/problem_set2.pdf

Enjoy!

Ada

will be due this Thursday. That way Ada can take a look at it before the group session on Friday.

Kundu et al, problem 3.1

GFD notes, problems 3.1-3.4

Due on September 18

I'll be away in the middle of next week, so no class on September 9 and 10. We'll meet instead in Glasshallen 2 on Friday (11/9) at 10:15.

The next group session with Ada will be on 18/9. She'll go over problem set 1 then.

By popular demand, we're moving the Thursday class to Glasshallen 2 over here in CIENS on Thursdays. So both days will be here.

For those of you following remotely, we've covered up to Geostrophic balance and Other momentum balances in the outline. Today (2/9), we'll finish the latter and then move on to Hydrostatic balance and Thermal wind.
