It is becoming increasingly common to represent subgrid-scale features in weather and climate models by including random noise. But is this really the best approach to the parameterisation problem? This meeting will examine the pros and cons of these stochastic approaches, compared to the traditional deterministic approach.
This meeting is sponsored by the Grantham Institue for Climate Change, an institute of Imperial College London and the IOP Environmental Physics Group and is part of the Royal Meteorological Society National Meetings programme, open to all, from expert to enthusiast, for topical discussions on the latest advances in weather and climate.
Non members are welcome to attend these meetings. Where seating capacity is limited, priority will be given to members.
