About the event: Accurately predicting weather is a complex task due to the many factors that influence weather patterns, including atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, wind, and precipitation. Small changes in any of these variables can lead to significant changes in weather conditions, making it challenging to predict with absolute certainty. Due to the large degrees of freedom involved, there is a limit of the deterministic predictability of weather. In this talk we will discuss some modeling techniques developed to resolve some of these difficulties, as well as the importance of satellite data in obtaining improved weather prediction.
