ADIW03 - Climate Applications of Layering

Fluid dynamics for climate (and indeed for geophysics and astrophysics more generally) requires the modelling of nonlinear process over a vast range of spatial and temporal scales. Current (and future!) computational methods are not capable of modelling the range of scales required, so some compromises are required. In this talk I will describe possible methods for modelling the types of interaction that are needed for problems of relevance to the climate. I will focus on two methods; the generalised quasilinear approximation, which is a first step to providing robust conservative, realisable, subgrid models and the solution of the PDEs on a logarithmic lattice.  This is joint work with Curtis Saxton (Leeds), Rich Kerswell (Cambridge), Keaton Burns (MIT) and Brad Marston (Brown).
