Physical oceanography may be subdivided into descriptive and
dynamical physical oceanography.
Dynamical physical oceanography focuses primarily upon the processes that govern the motion of fluids with emphasis upon theoretical research and numerical models.
This paper could gain some scientific traction if
a dynamical physical foundation were presented instead of relying upon the misleadingly familiar concept of the «stadium wave.»

Classical Laplacian determinism had assumed that an «operational» truncation (or first - order approximation) of initial values of
dynamical parameters were a mathematically rigorous approach for accurately predicting the future (or past) state of
physical events.
We believe that it will also prompt new experiments focusing on the
dynamical properties of the atoms at nanostructures, allowing us to understand the contribution of the previously little probed
dynamical structure studies of atomic clusters, towards the
physical properties such as catalytic relativities.»
A global climate model or general circulation model aims to describe climate behavior by integrating a variety of fluid -
dynamical, chemical, or even biological equations that are either derived directly from
physical laws (e.g.

The studies of the solar system during the past several decades have proven that the understanding of our own planetary system can leap forward only with the combination of
dynamical modeling and
physical observations.
Briefly, a
dynamical model is a an attempt to reproduce the mathematics of the
physical system as closely as you can.
The challenges are significant, but the record of progress suggests that within the next decade the scientific community will develop fully coupled
dynamical (prognostic) models of the full Earth system (e.g., the coupled
physical climate, biogeochemical, human sub-systems) that can be employed on multi-decadal time - scales and at spatial scales relevant to strategic impact assessment.
Global Carbon Cycle Recent efforts have begun to extend Global Climate Models (GCMs) towards Earth System Models (ESMs), where the
physical -
dynamical GCM also includes key biogeochemical cycles important in determining the Earth's response to increasing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions.

physical processes with the coupled climate system.
• The union of microscopic (atomic level) Hamiltonian
dynamical models with macroscopic (system level) thermodynamical models, succeeds extraordinarily well at predicting a vast range of
physical phenomena (including heat conductivity, heat capacity, sound velocities, viscosity, thermal expansion, solubility / insolubility, etc..)
Herein I propose a multi-scale
dynamical analysis to facilitate the
physical interpretation of tide gauge records.
Besides I strongly oppose (like R.Pielke and many others) the idea that the «global time average of the surface temperature» has any
physical meaning or is a valid metrics to measure the «climate» and I can't see the beginning of a valid reason why it should correlate to any relevant
dynamical parameter.
James Hurrell and colleagues in an article in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society stated that the «global coupled atmosphere — ocean — land — cryosphere system exhibits a wide range of
physical and
dynamical phenomena with associated
physical, biological, and chemical feedbacks that collectively result in a continuum of temporal and spatial variability.
The department carries out research in both
dynamical and
physical meteorology with a broad range of topics covering field work, lab work, theoretical and numerical modelling and has about eight or nine NERC studentships available each year.
T he global coupled atmosphere — ocean — land — cryosphere system exhibits a wide range of
physical and
dynamical phenomena with associated
physical, biological, and chemical feedbacks that collectively result in a continuum of temporal and spatial variability.
Our approach has been to develop two models with different ocean
dynamical /
physical cores while keeping all other components the same in order to test the sensitivity of our results to our assumptions inherent in our ocean configuration.
As for certain specific expensive extreme events (as opposed to generic weather), I stand by my own conclusion as someone with some lingering expertise, that Moscow / Pakistan 2010, Texas 2011, Sandy 2012, and the ongoing decline of Arctic sea ice, are events with obvious
physical /
dynamical connections to our artificially altered climate.
Additionally, he said they lack the
physical evidence of what are known as «
dynamical links,» —
physical ties within elements of the Earth's climate system, such as the upper oceans and lower atmosphere — between Arctic warming and extreme events.
Although the chain of the actual
physical mechanisms generating these cycles is still obscure, (I have argued in my previous papers that the available climatic data would suggest an astronomical modulation of the cloud cover that would induce small oscillations in the albedo that, consequently, would cause oscillations in the surface temperature also by modulating ocean oscillations), the detected cycles can surely be considered from a purely geometrical point of view as a description of the
dynamical evolution of the climate system.
(I'm just a part - time student of this stuff, and I continue to learn, principally using Professor Pierrehumbert's great textbook, and other things, like Pond and Pickard's Introductory

It turns out there's many complicated
physical and
dynamical processes wrapped up in some of the feedbacks we identify from a TOA perspective, particularly the «lapse rate feedback.»
If numerical methods can not accurately compute the solution of the basic
dynamical system (so called
dynamical cores) either because of ill posedness, fast exponential growth, or inadequate resolution to properly resolve the rapid nonlinear cascade of the vertical component of vorticity (requires unphysically large dissipation to overcome), then adding necessarily unphysical parameterizations to overcome these deficiencies can not lead to a correct
physical solution as the resolution is reduced.
This suggests that, whatever
dynamical phenomena are represented by the word «drumlinization», they have a
physical lower limit.
