Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Topics include:
- Numerical solution of the shallow water equations;
- The Weather Research and Forecasting (ARW-WRF) model.
- Model design, applications and testing, representation of model results.

Assessment and permitted materials

The grade will be determined as a weighted average of:
- 20%: Classwork (hands-on training on the WRF model).
- 40%: Project assignment related to the WRF model.
- 40%: Project assignment related to the numerical solution of the shallow water equation set.
