Course description and aims

The main subject of this course is the mathematical analysis of nonlinear partial differential equations that describe the motion of incompressible fluids with rotation and stable stratification in geophysical fluid dynamics. In the first half, we explain the basic properties of oscillatory integrals. As applications, we study the dispersive and the space-time estimates for the linear propagators associated with rotation and stable stratification of the fluids. In the latter half, we learn the well-posedness of the initial value problem for the nonlinear equations, and study the asymptotic behavior of solutions in the fast rotation limit and the strongly stratified limit.

The goal of this course is to acquire fundamental knowledge and techniques for the mathematical analysis of nonlinear partial differential equations that arise in geophysical fluid dynamics.
