Oceans play a central role in the climate system by storing heat and CO2, and redistributing these tracers across the planet. Their turbulent nature, involving a vast range of spatial and temporal scales, makes their modeling challenging. However, certain robust features, such as western intensification, equatorial jet formations, and overturning circulations, can be explained from basic physical principles. The aim of this school is to provide introductory lectures on the core concepts of planetary-scale ocean dynamics, as well as to present current theoretical challenges that will need to be addressed in the coming years, driven by new observations and modeling capabilities. This school will bring together physicists, mathematicians, and oceanographers, with introductory lectures providing common ground and state-of-the-art advances on the topic, with the goal of fostering new collaborations between these communities.
