GUEST WEBINAR: Designing a weather forecast

How is a weather forecast made? What do we need to run an atmospheric model? What is the proper horizontal resolution and why not run a global 1-km forecast? The lesson aims to answer such questions and give pupils some basic ideas about numerical modelling. A special attention is paid to the importance of a proper designing of the model grid.

The webinar will be conducted by our guest - Maria Kłeczek. She is a PhD student dealing with atmospheric modelling at the Institute of Geophysics of Polish Academy of Sciences; a graduate of environmental protection at Warsaw University of Technology. During the lesson some online activities will be proposed. Also, please, download and print the worksheet available for the lesson in the section for enrolled. An exemplary solution of the worksheet is available as well.
