This course will present a brief overview of numerical weather prediction methods, and the methods employed in the dynamical core of the WFR model. The course will also detail model initialization techniques, specification of boundary conditions, grid nesting, data assimiliation, and physical parameterizations of surface, boundary layer, radiation, and cloud microphysical phenomena. Students will also perform exercises in using the model to solve problems in mesoscale meteorology, such as applications to mesoscale forecasting, land cover and land use sensitivity, orographic flows, cloud system simulation, and regional climate modeling. Students should have a background in UNIX-style computing, experience in FORTRAN preferred.
