The quiet revolution of numerical weather prediction
Nature, 2015Advances in numerical weather prediction represent a quiet revolution because they have resulted from a steady accumulation of scientific knowledge and technological advances over many years that, with only a few exceptions, have not been associated with the aura of fundamental physics breakthroughs.

Contemporary Physics, 1986
Abstract The use of physico-mathematical models for the numerical prediction of weather changes on a global scale is described. The accuracy of the predictions is assessed in relation to the limitations of both the observational data and the representation in the model of the many interactive physical and dynamical processes that govern the evolution ...

Reviews of Geophysics, 1975
Various numerical models are in use for prediction of the large‐scale motions of the atmosphere for operational or research purposes, and all seem to have comparable skill for several days, as shown by Druyan [1974] in a comparison of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) [Somerville et al., 1974] model forecasts with those at the National ...

GPU acceleration of numerical weather prediction
2008 IEEE International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing, 2008Weather and climate prediction software has enjoyed the benefits of exponentially increasing processor power for almost 50 years. Even with the advent of large-scale parallelism in weather models, much of the performance increase has come from increasing processor speed rather than increased parallelism. This free ride is nearly over.

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 1978
Abstract This article is addressed to the layman with a science education. It is thus not addressed specifically to the meteorologist, but it contains certain information about the weather services, and the impact of numerical weather prediction on them, that I believe will interest those in the meteorological community who have not had close ...

Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 2002
Abstract This overview describes a brief history of the numerical weather prediction proposed by L.F. Richardson in 1922. He had a dream of forecasting weather based on time integration of basic equations of fluid mechanics that express the atmospheric circulation.

Numerical weather prediction over Antarctica
2023Operations in Antarctica are very much at the mercy of the weather. From early explorations using skis and dogs sleds, through to modern large scale operations involving shipping, tractor trains, helicopters and large fixed wing aircraft, operating from modern facilities, all have been sidelined when the Antarctic atmosphere has become hostile.

The weather is of vital importance to life on this planet. A sudden violent storm may cause loss of life, damage to property and great economic loss. A drought in one country may have political repercussions in other countries also. Agriculture and industry, shipping and aviation, communication and recreation are all fields of human activity that would

Numerical Problems Connected with Weather Prediction
1985Large scale atmospheric motions can propagate on vastly different time scales. The time scale of the so called Rossby waves which describe the “weather”is of the order of a day while inertia-gravity waves can have time scales of order] 0 sec. Meteorologically the main interest is in the first type of motion.

Numerical weather prediction (NWP) entails the use of computer models of the atmosphere to simulate how the state of the atmosphere is likely to evolve over a period of several hours up to 1 or 2 weeks ahead. This approach is central to modern operational weather forecasting: it is the improvements in NWP systems that have led to continual improvements
