Mathematik der Klima- und Erdsystemwissenschaften

What it is about

You will learn mathematical methods for the analysis and modeling of nonlinear processes in the climate and Earth system. In the end you will be able to explain the basics of energy balance modeling, nonlinear and stochastic dynamics as well as fundamental equations of fluid mechanics, and mathematically analyze time series from climate and Earth system processes.

What you will be able to do

• Explanation of the modeling of energy balance
• Recitation of the theory of nonlinear dynamical systems
• Understanding stochastic differential equations
• Derivation and analysis of the fundamental equations of fluid mechanics
• Mathematical analysis of climate and Earth system time series
