Working with NASA on improving global weather forecasts
…rs work very well in the Dynamical Core, they are not well suited to being linearised for the Linear Model. To help improve the prediction models currently being used, Dr James Kent, a mathematician at the University of South Wales, worked with NASA to take a different approach. During initial testing, researchers applied the new model to tracer transport, such as predicting the movement of clouds as well as quantities such as specific humidity. W…
