GGS 855 - Introduction to Mesoscale Atmospheric Modeling

Credits: 3
Introduces physical and numerical modeling issues involved in mesoscale atmospheric flows. These flows involve time and space scales associated with diurnal cycle, atmospheric inertial mode, thermal and mechanical forcing due to mesoscale terrain inhomogeneities, mesoscale precipitation systems, and downscale energy transfer from synoptic scale to mesoscale due to nonlinear flow interactions.

Equivalent to EOS 855 (2009-2010 Catalog)

Prerequisites
Permission of instructor.

Hours of Lecture or Seminar per week: 3
When Offered: Fall, Spring
