4220.03/5220.03 — Numerical Modelling of Atmospheres and Oceans
Prerequisites: 1000-calculus and instructor’s permission
This class is designed to give the student an in-depth knowledge of numerical modelling techniques for simulation of atmospheric and ocean circulations. Topics include finite difference, finite element and spectral methods for solving partial differential equations; accuracy and stability analysis of numerical schemes: a brief introduction to data assimilation and ensemble prediction methods; and boundary treatment for ocean models.
