This course aims to provide a rigorous and intuitive treatment of mid-latitude weather systems, yielding fundamental theoretical insights into their formation and development. The approach is modern, beginning with simple linear models, but going on to emphasize the role of fundamental conservation laws and similarity relationships that give insight even into complicated nonlinear systems.
