DescriptionLearning objectivesThe module describes the single-column model (SCM) which is essentially a single-grid column of a General Circulation Model. A GCM can be considered to be a collection of many single-column models, arranged to cover the entire earth, and interacting with each other through a set of rules known as “large-scale dynamics.” The modules introduces basic concepts and highlight the use of SCM in numerical weather prediction models' parameterisation testing Learning objectivesBy the end of the module the participants will be able to understand: - basic equations regulating a SCM
- how the SCM is used to simplify complex mechanisms regulating the atmosphere
