The birth of numerical weather prediction [PDF]
The paper describes the major events leading gradually to operational, numerical, short-range predictions for the large-scale atmospheric flow. The theoretical foundation starting with Rossby's studies of the linearized, barotropic equation and ending a decade and a half later with the general formulation of the quasi-geostrophic, baroclinic model by ...

Numerical Weather Prediction [PDF]
This review highlights a number of current areas of emphasis in research and operational numerical weather prediction. Detailed accounts of each area of activity are not presented; some key references are provided within each section for interested readers who may wish to explore further. The review outlines the types of weather prediction models where

Extension of the WRF-Chem volcanic emission preprocessor to integrate complex source terms and evaluation for different emission scenarios of the Grimsvötn 2011 eruption [PDF]
Volcanic eruptions may generate volcanic ash and sulfur dioxide (SO2) plumes with strong temporal and vertical variations. When simulating these changing volcanic plumes and the afar dispersion of emissions, it is important to provide the best available ...

Storm time neutral density assimilation in the thermosphere ionosphere with TIDA
To improve Thermosphere–Ionosphere modeling during disturbed conditions, data assimilation schemes that can account for the large and fast-moving gradients moving through the modeled domain are necessary.
