Abstract: Abstract Our Earth’s atmosphere and oceans are rotating geophysical fluids that are two important components of the planet’s climate system. The atmosphere and the oceans are extremely rich in their organization and complexity, and many phenomena that they exhibit, involving a broad range of temporal and spatial scales (Charney, 1948), cannot be reproduced in the laboratory. An understanding of the complex scientific issues of geophysical fluid dynamics requires the combined efforts of scientists in many fields. The main objective of this chapter is to initiate a study of dynamic transitions and stability of large-scale atmospheric and oceanic circulations, focusing on a few typical sources of climate variability. Such variability, independently and interactively, may play a significant role in past and future climate change.
