Dynamical Meteorology and Climatology Unit

The research conducted in the Section is devoted to the fundamental aspects of the dynamics of the atmosphere and climate, mainly related to the understanding of their variability and predictability, through the development of mathematical models and the use of time series analysis techniques.These problems are tackled by applying, adapting and extending the tools of nonlinear dynamics, chaos theory, statistical physics and stochastic processes. The theoretical results obtained are first tested on simplified models and are subsequently applied to realistic forecasting models.
