Syllabus
Expansion to the series, approximation of the spatial and temporal derivatives, finite difference method, finite volume method, spectral methods, numerical schmes used in mentioned methods, basic model (test) equations, solution properties, interpretation of the model results.
Annotation
This course together with the seminar gives the students basic knowledge in the field of the numerical methods used in the atmospheric processes modelling and predictions. Stress will be given to chosen numerical methods and their application in the atmospheric physics as, for example, continuous and discrete problems, spatial and temporal discretization, convergence criteria, resolution, principles and attributes of the used methods (finite differences, finite volumes, spectral methods), explicit, semi-implicit and implicit time integration methods, model results interpretation.
