Advanced Atmospheric Predictability and Prediction. 3 credits

Catalog description

Covers the theory and practice of predicting atmospheric circulation from daily weather to subseasonal weather regimes to seasonal climate. Discusses atmospheric data assimilation, the dynamics of rapidly amplifying modes, the role of large- scale instability and weather regime dynamics, and the role of boundary conditions. Students will design and carry out ensemble forecasts using a range of numerical models. Offered by Atmospheric/Oceanic/Earth Sci . May not be repeated for credit.
