Chaos in the Atmosphere

摘要: The conclusion of this book cannot escape the aspect atmospheric physics that is most debated nowadays, is, chaotic character climatic system and atmosphere. In previous chapters we have not questioned deterministic time worked with equations for which analytical solutions existed enabled us to predict at each instant status system. These were relatively simple systems implied a total predictability. Sometimes more complex do no give rise same conclusions or regular solutions. atmosphere could be such and, according Edward Lorenz, it may intrinsically unpredictable. You think about cloud: today there theory evolution cloud in presence updraft, wind, humidity advection, etc. There are two identical clouds, nonetheless know base clouds processes described understood. If little, novel situation physics. completely different context, kinetic gases solves another impossible problem because avoids question how describe exact position molecule gas. Instead gives their collective properties, describing statistical behavior.
