平坦地球上的气象学和海洋学
Meteorology and Oceanography on a Flat Earth
摘要：
为了深入了解大气和海洋，应用定性推理来预测与我们自己完全不同的世界的地球物理流体动力学是有用的，例如系外行星，核冬天的地球，其他太阳系世界，以及遥远的未来陆地气候。在这里，我们来看看一个平坦的地球上的大气和海洋动力学，这是一个圆盘状的行星，就像特里·普拉切特爵士幻想中的圆盘世界。尽管这种几何形状的缺点是完全是想象出来的，但有大量的平面地球支持者的视频，他们的错误说明了业余爱好者和大一的科学学生是如何误解和误用概念的。因此，这个案例对物理学教师非常有用。我们表明，在一个平坦的，非旋转的地球和旋转的球形行星上的天气和海洋流动是非常不同的。如果需要的话，这些差异是对平耳异端的粉碎性揭穿。这些非常不同的大气和海洋的“高对比度”对于灌输开放的思想是有价值的，这对于理解系外行星和核冬天以及后气候启示录地球至关重要。
英文摘要：
To build insight into the atmosphere and ocean, it is useful to apply qualitative reasoning to predict the geophysical fluid dynamicss of worlds radically different from our own such as exoplanets, earth in Nuclear Winter, other solar system worlds, and far future terrestial climates. Here, we look at atmospheric and oceanic dynamics on a flat earth, that is a disc-shaped planet rather like Sir Terry Pratchet's fantasy Discworld. Altough this has the disadvantage that this geometry is a completely imaginary, there is a rich larray of videos by flat earth proponents whose errors illuminate how concepts can be misconceived and misapplied by amateurs and freshman science studients. As such, this case is very useful to geophysics instructors. We show that weather and ocean flows on a flat, nonrotating earth and a rotating spherical planet are wildly different. These differences are a crushing debunk of the flat earh heresy, if one were needed. The "high contrast" of these very different atmospheres and oceans is valuable in instilling the open-mindedness that is essential in understanding excoplanets and Nuclear Winter and Post-Climate-Apocalypse earth.
