We propose an optimization algorithm for computing geodesics on the universal Teichm\"uller space T(1) in the Weil-Petersson ($W P$) metric. Another realization for T(1) is the space of planar shapes, modulo translation and scale, and thus…

The precipitating quasi-geostrophic equations go beyond the (dry) quasi-geostrophic equations by incorporating the effects of moisture. This means that both precipitation and phase changes between a water-vapour phase (outside a cloud) and…
