The dynamic behavior of the atmosphere is driven by processes on a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. In a project run by scientists of the Heidelberg University, those parts of model systems which describe the fluid dynamics and the temperature evolution were investigated. The models are formulated in terms of the velocity, temperature, pressure, and density. The researchers employ a hierarchy of different physical models with an increasing degree of complexity. The task of predicting the evolution of tropical cyclones is a typical challenging example.
