MTO 477 - Sayısal Hava Öngörüsü

Dersin Amaçları

1) Teach the basics of weather and climate. As weather forecasters, we rely heavily on numerical weather models to aid in making our short- and long-term forecasts.
2) Unfortunately, we believe their predictions all too readily because we dont understand when they work and when they dont.
3) This course is intended to give the student a basic introduction to numerical weather prediction techniques and should assist the student in evaluating model-derived forecasts with a critical eye.
