Overview
The unit will introduce you to the design of global atmospheric models as they are used in Numerical weather prediction, seasonal prediction and climate simulation. It provides a basic understanding of all aspects of global atmospheric modelling. It describes the modelling techniques required to apply the fundamental equations that govern … For more content click the Read More button below.
