It introduces students to the essentials of finite-difference methods, numerical stability, spectral methods, data assimilation and initialization, boundary conditions, and parameterization of subgrid-scale phenomenon. It also covers more advanced topics such as finite-volume methods, semi-Lagrangian and semi-implicit schemes, and chemical transport modeling. Practical programming and written exercises are included.
