  • ATMO 558: Mesoscale Meteorological Modeling

    3.00 Credits
    University of Arizona

    Description: This course provides an overview of mesoscale meteorological modeling, emphasizing limited area models. It is a modified version of a course originally developed by Professor Roger Pielke, Sr., and currently taught at the University of Colorado. The objective is to provide students a framework for understanding limited area models commonly used in the atmospheric science community, either as numerical weather prediction models or regional climate models. Topics include conservation equations of the atmosphere; methods of solution; boundary and initial conditions; coordinate systems; parameterization schemes; and model application and evaluation. Particular emphasis will be placed on the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, as this is used in the UA Department of Atmospheric Sciences. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E. Prerequisite(s): ATMO 541A, ATMO 541B or consent of instructor. Identical to: GEOS 558, HWR 558. Usually offered: Spring.
