titleIntroduction to Parametrization

Description

 

Learning objectives

 

Audience

In this introductory lecture, the role of parametrization in large scale models will be explained. The relevant processes and their impact will be discussed, using the ECMWF model as an example. Also general ideas will be presented on the development of parametrizations and on their evaluation.

Learning objectives

By the end of the session students should be able to:

•    Explain why parametrization is important

•    Discuss parametrization development strategies.

Audience

Post graduate researchers, Forecasters

titleConvection (1)

Description

Convection affects all atmospheric scales. Therefore, the convection session aims to provide a deeper understanding of the atmospheric general circulation and its interaction with convective heating and vertical transports. The notions and techniques acquired during the course should be useful for developers of convective parametrizations, forecasters and for analysing output from high-resolution convection resolving models.

Learning objectives

  • Describe the difference between Tropical and Midlatitude convective processes
  • Describe the diurnal cycle of convection
  • Apply the theory of bouyancy and CAPE to diagnose a convective situation on a tephigram
  • Describe the interaction between the large-scale circulation and the convection including  radiative-convective equilibrium and convectively-coupled large-scale waves

Audience

Post-graduate researchers, forecasters
