Weather & Extremes

In this project, we investigate extreme weather events such as hurricanes and winter blizzards and study the relationship between the wind field and the pressure field in a rotating fluid.

To introduce the project we will review observations of atmospheric vortices on various scales and carry out a laboratory experiment – see Intro_slides and Intro_notes.
