This lesson covers key processes in ice and mixed-phase clouds and precipitation, and parametrization uncertainties.
Learn how sub-grid-scale processes (not explicitly simulated in NWP), are parameterised and how challenges are overcome.
Learn about the unique role of snow in forecasting, from short-range to seasonal time scales.
Learn about data assimilation and how it is used to define ‘optimal' initial conditions for NWP at ECMWF.
An introduction to the basic concepts for the design of a cloud and precipitation microphysics parametrisation.
Learn about the main sources of uncertainty in weather forecasting and how they are addressed in early warning systems.
