Mathematical developments in geophysical fluid dynamics
Workshop 1: Vortices and vorticity in geophysical flows
April 20 to 24, 2026 - IHP, Paris
The study of vortices is essential for atmospheric dynamics. Tornadoes, hurricanes and oceanic eddies are noticeable examples. Mathematically, the vorticity columns for example raise significant difficulties.
