This course aims to introduce fundamental and outstanding issues in climate sciences linked to interactions between the atmosphere, ocean, and ice. We will alternate between lectures on basic principles of atmospheric, ocean and ice dynamics, which will rely on mathematical analysis of reduced physical equations, with practical problems involving analytical and numerical work. We will discuss observations highlighting energy imbalances within the Earth system and the role played by the atmosphere, ocean, and ice interactions.
