这本书收集了2017年8月在莱舒什暑期学校举办的关于“气候动力学中湍流的基本方面”的讲座的文本。在气候动力学，大气和海洋动力学，地球物理流体动力学，物理学和非线性科学领域的领先科学家提出他们对这个快速增长的跨学科研究领域的看法，通过探索大气对流，云，大规模环流和可预测性的基本问题。气候是由湍流控制的。湍流运动是大气中能量、动量和水蒸气传输的主要原因，而大气中的能量、动量和水蒸气又决定了地球上的温度、风和降水的分布。海洋和大气中的云、天气系统和边界层是气候系统中湍流的表现。由于湍流仍然是经典物理学未解决的重大问题，我们没有一个完整的气候物理理论。这个暑期学校的目的是调查什么是已知的湍流如何控制气候，它们可能在气候变化中发挥什么作用，并概述在这一重要领域的进展可以预期，鉴于今天的计算和观测能力。本书回顾了这一领域的最新发展，并为未来的研究提供了必要的背景。所有章节都是从教学的角度写的，使这本书的硕士和博士生和所有希望进入这一领域的研究人员。它是由几个讲座和研讨会在暑期学校录制的在线视频补充。
This book collects the text of the lectures given at the Les Houches Summer School on “Fundamental aspects of turbulent flows in climate dynamics”, held in August 2017. Leading scientists in the fields of climate dynamics, atmosphere and ocean dynamics, geophysical fluid dynamics, physics and non-linear sciences present their views on this fast growing and interdisciplinary field of research, by venturing upon fundamental problems of atmospheric convection, clouds, large-scale circulation, and predictability. Climate is controlled by turbulent flows. Turbulent motions are responsible for the bulk of the transport of energy, momentum, and water vapor in the atmosphere, which determine the distribution of temperature, winds, and precipitation on Earth. Clouds, weather systems, and boundary layers in the oceans and atmosphere are manifestations of turbulence in the climate system. Because turbulence remains as the great unsolved problem of classical physics, we do not have a complete physical theory of climate. The aim of this summer school was to survey what is known about how turbulent flows control climate, what role they may play in climate change, and to outline where progress in this important area can be expected, given today’s computational and observational capabilities. This book reviews the state-of-the-art developments in this field and provides an essential background to future studies. All chapters are written from a pedagogical perspective, making the book accessible to masters and PhD students and all researchers wishing to enter this field. It is complemented by online video of several lectures and seminars recorded during the summer school.
