Abstract

This chapter presents the mathematical methodology of using tensors to transform a Cartesian coordinate system to other types of coordinate systems. The emphasis is on the development of generalized vertical coordinate systems including those based on pressure, potential temperature, and terrain-following. Specific examples of how the coordinate system can facilitate improved understanding of atmospheric flows is presented.
