Learning outcomes

The course is meant to give the basic knowledge of hydrodynamics and thermodynamics for the ocean and the atmosphere both at the mathematical-physical level and the phenomenological one. The course starts by illustrating the climatological structure of the ocean and the atmosphere, vertical and horizontal, winds and currents, and discussing the radiative balance of the Earth and it ends with fundamental equations for atmospheric and oceanic motion and their useful approximations.
