Prof. Dr. Gerrit Lohmann

24. April- 24. July 2006: Monday 11-13, Room S3032

This lecture is about concepts of mathematical modeling, and about the kinds of techniques that are useful for modeling. It covers exact and approximate analytical techniques, numerical methods, and model inference based on observations. A focus will be on applications across a broad range of Earth System Modeling and Analysis. It discusses the general components of the modeling process and highlights the potential of modeling in practice. A part of the lecture provides case studies, with examples, exercises, and projects.
