  2. Numerical weather prediction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_weather_prediction

    Weather reconnaissance aircraft, such as this WP-3D Orion, provide data that is then used in numerical weather forecasts.. The atmosphere is a fluid.As such, the idea of numerical weather prediction is to sample the state of the fluid at a given time and use the equations of fluid dynamics and thermodynamics to estimate the state of the fluid at some time in the future.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_Research_and...

    Time period is from 0000 UTC 22 August 2005 to 0000 UTC 24 August 2005. The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model[1] (/ ˈwɔːrf /) is a numerical weather prediction (NWP) system designed to serve both atmospheric research and operational forecasting needs. NWP refers to the simulation and prediction of the atmosphere with a computer ...

  4. Cloud physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_physics

    Weather. Cloud physics is the study of the physical processes that lead to the formation, growth and precipitation of atmospheric clouds. These aerosols are found in the troposphere, stratosphere, and mesosphere, which collectively make up the greatest part of the homosphere. Clouds consist of microscopic droplets of liquid water (warm clouds ...

  5. Global Environmental Multiscale Model - Wikipedia

    The Global Environmental Multiscale Model (GEM), often known as the CMC model in North America, is an integrated forecasting and data assimilation system developed in the Recherche en Prévision Numérique (RPN), Meteorological Research Branch (MRB), and the Canadian Meteorological Centre (CMC). Along with the NWS 's Global Forecast System (GFS ...

  6. Rapid Refresh (weather prediction) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_Refresh_(weather...

    The Rapid Refresh ( RR or RAP) is a numerical weather prediction (NWP) model. The model is designed to provide short-range hourly weather forecasts for North America. The Rapid Refresh was officially made operational on 1 May 2012, replacing the Rapid Update Cycle (RUC). The model also serves as the boundary conditions for the higher-resolution ...

[3] The college also owns and operates satellite campuses in Addison, Carol Stream, Naperville and Westmont. [4][5] With more than 20,000 students, the College of DuPage is the second largest provider of undergraduate education in Illinois, after ...

  8. Nowcasting (meteorology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nowcasting_(meteorology)

    Nowcasting is weather forecasting on a very short term mesoscale period of up to 2 hours, according to the World Meteorological Organization, and up to six hours, according to other authors in the field. [1][2] This forecast is an extrapolation in time of known weather parameters, including those obtained by means of remote sensing, using ...

  9. Model for Prediction Across Scales - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_for_Prediction...

    The Model for Prediction Across Scales (MPAS) is an Earth system modeling software that integrates atmospheric, oceanographic, and cryospheric modeling across scales from regional to planetary. It includes climate and weather modeling and simulations that were used initially by researchers in 2013. [ 1 ]
