How SCM is used to investigate the physical processes of a global model in isolation, its applications and limitations.
This lesson will take you through what convection is and the phenomena it causes.
This lesson looks at the three classes of parametrization schemes and the main characteristics of the IFS scheme.
Explore the key microphysical and warm-phase processes of cloud and precipitation parametrisation and their use in NWP.
Learn about sources of error in NWP, how they are quantified, and how ensembles are evaluated.
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.
