Description:
Classification of atmospheric models. Types of atmospheric numerical models: global and climate models, meso-scale models, micro-scale models. Numerical schemes, initial and boundary conditions. Model initialization. Nesting. Parameterisations in atmospheric models: turbulence, surface layer, microphysics, convection, radiation, etc. Shallow-water model. Mesoscale model of high complexity. Air quality models: Gaussian, Euler, Lagrange. Coupling of atmospheric and oceanographic models.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:
Students will be able to:
1. explain the basic concepts about used numerical methods in the model;
2. set hypothesis about the origin and/or interaction of meteorological phenomena that is going to be modeled;
3. properly apply the model to the selected problem with the correct choice of model parameterization and other simplifications/options during numerical computation;
4. identify and discuss the limitations on the use of numerical models in meteorology due to various types of numerical instabilities during calculation;
5. formulate and generalize observed physical relationships among meteorological phenomena provided by the model results.
