The so-called primitive equations comprise a set of six variables and six equations, specifically the gas law and three conservation laws: mass, momentum and energy conservation.

a. Can you write down the equations (use any mathematical form and any coordinate system of your choice) along with short one-two line explanations (in plain English) for what each equation encapsulates?

b. Explain the meaning of the “Coriolis Force”, where this enters in the primitive equations, how and to what extent this alters the equations, and the implications.

c. Explain briefly what the meaning of these terms, how they are caused, and what impacts they have: Hadley Cell, Hydrostatic Balance, Geostrophic Wind, El Nino and La Nina phenomena.

One of the most frequently estimated equations in the macroeconomics growth literature are so-called convergence regressions. To investigate this matter, you collect data from 104 countries for the sample period 1960-1990 and estimate the following relationship: g6090 = 0.020 – 0.360 × gpop + 0.004 × Educ – 0.053×RelProd60 where g6090 is the growth rate (in percentage) of GDP per worker for the 1960-1990 sample period, RelProd60 is the initial starting level of GDP per worker relative to the United...
