Weather Computing

Weather forecasting has been an important application area over the past 100 years. The complex numerical calculations and modeling structures that have been developed, require a fairly sophisticated level of technological development. Prior to the advent of digital computers it was practically impossible to forecast the weather. As technology progressed, so did the theoretical models, leading to increases in detail and accuracy levels of weather forecasting. The first steps in scientific weather forecasting The numerical models …
