Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In this seminar we will read and discuss scientific papers on climate and weather modelling. We will describe the role of numerical models as an additional source of scientific knowledge besides observations and theory. We will then examine different kinds of modelling studies: idealized simulations, realistic simulations, toy-model experiments.
Besides the scientific content, an essential goal of the seminar is to learn how to work effectively with the scientific literature.
You can take this course even if you did not take Paper Club I previously.
