Predicting the most likely state for a basic geophysical flow : theoretical framework

Creator:

Duran, Rodrigo

Abstract:

Statistical mechanics studies the probability that a system is in a certain state given one or more constraints which are usually fixed conserved quantities. It is a particularly useful and powerful approach for problems with a large number of degrees of freedom where a complete knowledge of the system is...
