The Basics of Weather Models,
Abstract
Without using mathematics, this memo summarizes the important information weather forecasters need to know to apply numerical weather prediction (NWP) forecasts. We've had to make some tough choices regarding what material to include. We've put the more technically rigorous information in an appendix; readers can review this material as they have time. We've organized the material under three main topics: History of NWP; Components of an NWP model; Strengths and weaknesses of NWP models--what these models can and cannot do.
