Workshop on non-hydrostatic modelling

The ECMWF Workshop on Non-hydrostatic Modelling took place from 8 to 10 November 2010.

Description

The workshop brought together leading experts in the field of non-hydrostatic modelling to discuss recent developments in this area and to provide recommendations on how to prepare ECMWF’s Integrated Forecasting System (IFS) for global atmospheric modelling at future high to ultra-high resolutions. It will consider the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches taken in the development of non-hydrostatic dynamical cores and exchange ideas about efficient ways of testing the performance of these models at all scales.
