Abstract

Among fluid systems, it is surely the atmosphere whose behaviour has attracted the greatest interest of physicists as well as scientists in other related disciplines. The understanding and predicting of the atmosphere is also of utmost importance for society, so that warnings can be given of serious weather events and planning for all kinds of weather-dependent activities (agriculture, transportation, building work, etc.) can be improved. It is therefore not surprising that the changes of the atmosphere has been more thoroughly measured than those of any other fluid system and that the prediction of these changes remains one of our most challenging scientific and technical problems. This paper will describe the problems in general of numerical modelling of the atmosphere and its application to weather prediction and climate simulation.
