Geophysical fluid dynamics (GFD) is a branch of fluid dynamics that focuses on the behavior of fluids in the Earth's atmosphere and oceans, as well as in other planetary environments. It combines principles from fluid mechanics, geophysics, and applied mathematics to study the motion of large-scale fluid systems influenced by the Earth's rotation, gravity, and other geophysical forces.
