Full Description
This exam investigates the principles behind numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. Key focus areas will include model development, validation, and application in short-term and long-term forecasts.
Numerical weather prediction is vital for modern meteorology, enabling the provision of reliable forecasts. Accurate models aid in effective preparedness for severe weather events and contribute to the safety of life and property.
The verbal assessment will test the candidate's ability to discuss NWP model structures, evaluate their performance, and explain the impact of various input parameters on forecasting accuracy.
Students should prepare to discuss real-world examples demonstrating the effectiveness and limitations of NWP models in meteorological assessments.
