What's the use of doing weather and climate model research?

Harmonie is the high-resolution weather and climate flagship used at KNMI. This model especially shows its added value for one of KNMI's most important core tasks: (early) weather and climate predictions of extreme, potentially dangerous, weather conditions.

In this presentation, it will be shown how KNMI R&D on Harmonie model physics directly leads to improved performance on KNMI core tasks.

Topics that will be discussed are:
    -What is meant by model physics?
    -How does the model R&D process works in practice?
    -The benifit of improved model physics.
Finally, an outline is given for some important future research topics

Speaker: Wim de Rooij, KNMI
