Summer School on Atmospheric Modeling
CSU Project #: 5-31110Sponsor: NOAA
Primary Investigator: Dr. David Randall
Start Date: July 1st, 2012
End Date: June 30th, 2013
Objectives:
- For 2010, the focus of SSAM was FIM, a Flow-Following, Finite-Volume, Icosahedral Model developed at NOAA’s Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL).
- Class Materials on Global Atmospheric Modeling David Randall is currently nearing completion of a book with the working title “Atmospheric Processes in Climate,” to be published by Princeton University Press. The book is aimed at undergraduates. It should appear in late 2011 or early 2012. In addition, Randall taught a graduate-level class during the fall semester of 2010 entitled “Introduction to General Circulation Modeling.” The materials used for this class are being used as the basis for a second book, to be completed during 2012.
