摘要

Climate and physics are closely related.The governing equations for both the atmosphere and ocean are the Navier-Stokes equations,which describe and quantify the physics of fluids.However,the atmosphere and ocean are very complex due to the interaction of many processes,not necessarily physical,and due to the need to model processes that are smaller than the grid resolution.In spite of this complexity,physicists have successfully addressed a wide swath of it using advanced statistical physics methods and techniques.Climate science has been benefited from the physics discipline and vice versa where the "chaos" theory is an excellent example for the interdisciplinary approach as it was basically discovered by Lorenz [1] through his simple model of the atmosphere.
