Learning outcomes
Discuss the basic physical theory of the earth's energy balance and large-scale climate dynamics and how it can be constructed from basic principles using mathematical analysis and numerical modelling.
Demonstrate knowledge and skills in using mathematical models and applications in atmospheric science and oceanography.
Demonstrate high-level knowledge and skills of the important techniques, terminology and processes of the large-scale physical climate, climate change and variability.
Develop, apply, integrate and generate knowledge to analyse and solve problems in physical climate dynamics.
Discuss the importance of the physical climate dynamics to climate change and variability.
Collect, organise, analyse and interpret quantitative information meaningfully, using mathematical and/or statistical tools as appropriate to physical climate dynamics, including numerical programming.
Explain climate dynamics concepts, processes and results to diverse audiences.
