Learning outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student knows: the formulation of general circulation models and climate models; -numerical methods employed in atmospheric and oceanic sciences; -methodologies to solve numerically chaotic, multi-scale systems of PDEs. Upon successful completion of this course, the student is able to: run and interpret simple numerical simulations for the atmosphere and ocean; use large datasets in self-describing, array-oriented formats; work in UNIX-like shell and HPC environment. Ability to write numerical codes to integrate hyperbolic conservation laws in one and multiple dimensions. Basic knowledge of a UNIX-like shell and job submission in a HPC environment. Compiling and running a model, design and implementation of a numerical simulation. Interpretation and use of a self-describing, array-oriented data format. Expertise with analysis and post-processing of model outputs and simple strategies to handle large datasets. Interpretation of model results in view of governing equations.
