Description:
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
To enable students to (i) work with selected models and (ii) to develop and understand the analysis and forecast of atmospheric processes from model outputs at various scales of varying complexity.

COURSE CONTENT:
Classification of atmospheric models. Types of atmospheric numerical models: global and climate, mesoscale models and microscale models. Basics of numerical schemes, initial and boundary conditions. Initialization. Nesting. Parameterizations in atmospheric models: turbulence, surface layer, microphysics, convection, solar radiation, etc. Shallow water model. High complexity mesoscale model. Model evaluation. Models for the transport of pollutants in the atmosphere: Gaussian, Eulerian, Lagrangian. Connecting atmospheric and oceanographic models.

LEARNING METHODS:
Listening to lectures, doing assignments, working with models, analyzing model results and writing reports.

TEACHING METHODS:
Lectures, discussions, derivations of equations and practical work with models.

METHOD OF MONITORING AND ASSESSMENT:
Completed homework, participation in class; written and oral exam.

CONDITIONS FOR SIGNATURE:
Completed homework.

METHOD OF TAKING THE EXAM:
Written and oral assessment of acquired knowledge. The final grade also includes points earned during classes through practical work and participation in class.
