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.

An experiment in numerical weather predictability
Geophysical & Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics, 1981Abstract Numerical prediction of the pressure or streamfield distribution is the first but most important step in weather forecasting. Therefore, it is essential that the forecaster should know the limit of predictability. This paper examines the dependence of predictability on the density of the aerological station network.

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 ...

Operational numerical weather prediction
Reviews of Geophysics, 1987A variety of analysis and forecast systems have been used routinely over the years to produce numerical weather predictions (NWP) for daily use. The Joint Numerical Weather Prediction Unit of the United States was the first operational organization established in 1955.

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

Abstract Astounding advances in numerical weather prediction have taken place over the last 40 years. Atmospheric models were rather primitive in the early 1960s and were able to yield modest forecasts at best for one day over a very limited domain at only one to three levels in the atmosphere and for only one or two variables.

The predictability problems in numerical weather and climate prediction
Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, 2002The uncertainties caused by the errors of the initial states and the parameters in the numerical model are investigated. Three problems of predictability in numerical weather and climate prediction are proposed, which are related to the maximum predictable time, the maximum prediction error, and the maximum admissible errors of the initial values and ...

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

Numerical Weather Prediction and Weather Forecasting in Complex Terrain [PDF]
, 2012 Numerical weather prediction (NWP) is the foundation for modern day weather forecasting. The focus of this chapter is on what NWP brings to the table when forecasting in areas of complex terrain – where it succeeds, where it fails, and how the forecaster can best use the guidance it provides.
