Learning Goals
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
• justify the different assumptions that are often made to the governing dynamical equations of the atmosphere*
• convert dynamic and thermodynamic equations into finite-difference and spectral forms*
• anticipate errors associated with various finite-difference forms of eqs. of motion, and calculate their effects on forecast skill*
• explain why physical parameterizations are needed, and critically evaluate their value and limitations
