12.803 Quasi-balanced Circulations in Oceans and Atmospheres
K. A. Emanuel Dynamics of large-scale circulations in oceans and atmospheres, taken concurrently with the laboratory subject 12.804. Basic concepts include mass and momentum conservation, hydrostatic and geostrophic balance, and pressure and other...

12.802 Wave Motions in the Ocean and Atmosphere
G. Flierl and P. O'Gorman Basic ideas of geophysical wave motion in rotating, stratified, and rotating-stratified fluids. Subject begins with general wave concepts of phase and group velocity. The dynamics and kinematics of gravity waves with a focus on...

12.801 Steady Circulation of the Oceans
J. Marshall Fundamental principles of geophysical fluid dynamics are applied to the ocean to understand and describe its global circulation patterns. Includes geostrophic dynamics, planetary geostrophy, Ekman pumping, wind and thermally driven ocean...

12.800 Fluid Dynamics of Ocean and Atmosphere
EAPS or WHOI Staff Introductory subject for first-year graduate students in meteorology, climate, and oceanography. Eulerian and Lagrangian kinematics. Equations of mass, momentum, and energy in Eulerian form in rotating frame of reference. Vorticity and...

EPS 132, Introduction to meteorology and climate
Introduction to meteorology and climate Brian Farrell The purpose of this course is to introduce you to the study of the atmosphere as a physical system. In EPS 132, we concentrate on the dynamical and thermodynamical aspects of our subject, first...

APM 147. Nonlinear dynamics and chaos
Nonlinear Dynamical Systems Avi M. Shapiro An introduction to nonlinear dynamical phenomena, covering the behavior of systems described by ordinary differential equations. Topics include: stability; bifurcations; chaos; routes to chaos and universality...

EPS 8. History of the Earth
History of the Earth Peter John Huybers and Andrew H. Knoll Examines the major stages and critical events in the history of the Earth, with emphasis on the interactions between global tectonics, the climate system, and biological evolution. Topics range...

APM 201. Physical Mathematics I
Physical Mathematics I James R. Rice and Avi M. Shapiro Introduction to methods for developing accurate approximate solutions for problems in the sciences that cannot be solved exactly, and integration with numerical methods and solutions. Topics include...

EPS 200, Atmospheric Chemistry and Climate
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics Daniel J. Jacob and Steven C. Wofsy Atmospheric physics and chemistry: stratospheric and tropospheric transport, photochemistry, and aerosols; stratospheric ozone loss, tropospheric pollution; biogeochemical cycles.

EPS 232. Dynamic Meteorology
Dynamic Meteorology Brian Farrell The purpose of this course is to introduce you to the fundamental ideas and paradigms of modern dynamic meteorology. Although we will try to keep our study informed by observations of the atmosphere, we can not in the...
