Funded Activity Summary

Coherent structures in chaotic dynamical systems. Using transfer operators and state-of-the-art multiplicative ergodic theory as a springboard, this project aims to develop innovative mathematics for bridging gaps between dynamical systems theory and applications. Coherent structures, such as oceanic eddies and atmospheric vortices, are prevalent in real-world dynamical systems and play a crucial role in both weather and climate systems. These structures arise in externally forced systems, and the existing theory concerning their location, number and stability to model errors is much less understood than in the non-forced counterpart. The intended outcomes include new algorithms for the automatic detection of coherent structures and results about their stability under perturbations which are relevant to roles in both weather and climate systems.
