Summary

This presentation explores by example the question of weather forecasting's role in developing accurate climate models.

This presentation presents:

  • Three reasons
  • Methodology
  • Four examples
  • Final Remarks
Also see teaching materials.


Learning Goals

To demonstrate the following:

  • Evaluate the simulation of moist processes against field observations taken on a particular day and location
  • Evaluate the nature of moist processes parameterization errors before longertime scale feedbacks develop
  • Assess how soon climate biases develop
