Geophysical fluid dynamics is a branch of geophysics that studies the behavior of fluids such as air and water in the Earth's atmosphere and oceans. It involves understanding the motion of these fluids, including their turbulence, waves, and vortices, and their interactions with solid surfaces and other fluids. This research area is important for understanding and predicting atmospheric and oceanic phenomena such as weather patterns, ocean currents, and climate change. Geophysical fluid dynamics combines principles from fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and other fields to study the complex dynamics of fluids in the Earth's system.
