Lernziele On completion of this module, the students will obtain an understanding of the Ocean General Circulation Modelling processes

Lehrinhalte The goal is to give some insight into the field of modern ocean modelling, which is useful not only for those who have a genuine interest, but also for those who are oriented towards observations. At some part of the study and career everyone has to deal with output/analyses/publications from numerical models; in those cases it is useful to have some idea what are the ingredients, but also limitations, of ocean models.
