Area of Science:

  • Atmospheric dynamics
  • Nonlinear systems theory
  • Chaos theory

Background:

  • Atmospheric motion can exhibit complex behaviors.
  • Understanding transitions to turbulence is crucial for weather prediction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze atmospheric motion states using nonlinear dynamical systems.
  • To investigate routes to turbulence during day and night.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative theory of nonlinear dynamical systems
  • Ergodic theory of chaos and strange attractors
  • Analysis of a truncated-spectrum model of atmospheric dynamical equations

Main Results:

  • Identified four distinct regions of atmospheric motion states in the (Re, Ri) parameter plane: basic (O), periodic (P), turbulent/chaotic (T), and a transition zone (T-P).
