Galerkin Methods with Applications in Weather and Climate Forecasting

 23 - 27 Mar 2015

ICMS, 15 South College Street Edinburgh

Scientific Organisers:

  • Colin Cotter, Imperial College London
  • Andreas Dedner, University of Warwick
  • Frank Giraldo, Naval Postgraduate School
  • Mark Taylor, Sandia National Laboratories

About:

Researchers developing, analyzing, and applying Galerkin methods with applications in weather forecasting and climate modelling were brought together in this workshop. The aim was to involve mathematicians, computer scientists, meteorologists and other specialists interested in this class of methods. The focus was on addressing the computational and analytical challenges faced by the next generation of climate and numerical weather prediction (NWP) models.
