This chapter reviews the basic dynamic, thermodynamic, and water-continuity relationships required to read the literature on cloud dynamics. The force balances and instabilities that affect clouds are reviewed. The primitive equations are presented and their Boussinesq and anelastic forms are presented.

Atmospheric and Oceanic Fluid Dynamics
, 2006THE FOCUS OF THIS CHAPTER is the zonally-averaged structure and circulation of the extratropical troposphere. Because of the presence of strong zonal asymmetries — in particular baroclinic eddies or, more simply, the weather — this circulation differs ...

Atmospheric Dynamics and Meteorology
2009Titan, after Venus, is the second example in the solar system of an atmosphere with a global cyclostrophic circulation, but in this case a circulation that has a strong seasonal modulation in the middle atmosphere. Direct measurement of Titan's winds, particularly observations tracking the Huygens probe at 10°S, indicate that the zonal winds are mostly

On the dynamics of Jupiter's atmosphere
Vistas in Astronomy, 1981Abstract Observations of the atmosphere of Jupiter by the imaging and infrared instruments on the Voyager spacecraft have been analysed to provide new insight into the meteorology of Jupiter. Like the Earth, the atmosphere of Jupiter appears to behave in a quasi-geostrophic manner.

The Dynamics of the Atmosphere of Venus
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 1975Abstract The wide range of radiative time scales in the Venus atmosphere, together with observations of temperature structure and winds, indicate that the atmosphere contains two distinct regimes. In the deep atmosphere, at altitudes below 40 km, diurnal effects are negligible, motions are weak, and the lapse rate is near-adiabatic.

Dynamics of the middle atmosphere
Reviews of Geophysics, 1987This review summarizes middle atmosphere (stratosphere and mesosphere) research in the United States over a period from October 1982 to May 1986. Some important relevant works by foreign investigators are also included. Previous work is summarized in the IUGG report by Hartmann (1983).

Atmospheric Circulation and Dynamics
2012The deep atmosphere of Venus ( ∼ 180 km including the thermosphere) presents both observational and modeling challenges. Its thick, nearly uniform global cloud cover makes it difficult to fathom the vertical structure of the global circulation through available techniques that are applied to Earth’s atmosphere.

AIP Conference Proceedings, 1990
Observations of the long‐term variations in the motions and morphology of the cloud systems in the atmospheres of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune have been hampered by terrestrial atmospheric effects, a limited range of accessible band passes, the necessity to sacrifice spectral resolution to achieve reasonable spatial resolution, and the inability

The atmospheric dynamics of deserts
2004The Bedouin of the desert, born and grown up in it, had embraced with all his soul this nakedness too harsh for volunteers, for the reason, felt but inarticulate, that there he found himself indubitably free. He lost material ties, comforts, all superfluities and other complications to achieve a personal liberty which haunted starvation and death.
