Modelling Tools

The Meteorology group at the Geophysical Institute utilizes a vast variety of different models. Full physics as well as idealized models are used as well as regional and mesoscale models all the way up to global models.

Main content

Depending on the scientific problems addressed the appropriate model is selected. We run all models in house on our cluster or our super-computer at Uni Computing. We regularly perform case study experiments as well as idealized simulations. In addition we are developing our own models, such as Bedymo. Please see the rubrics for further information.

WRF

We use the NCAR model WRF for our research, in particular for case study analysis and idealized simulations.

Bedymo

The Bergen Dynamical Model is developed in house for idealized experiments on synoptic to large scales. It can be run in a quasi-geostrophic and semi-geostrophic mode.

Idealized linear models

We developed several idealized linear models for analysis of gravity and Rossby waves as well as for the hydrostatic adjustment problem.
