Basic Dynamical Modeling of Weather Phenomena

Accurate measurement and prediction of weather phenomena is an important part of our modern way of life, from deciding whether to wear a jacket on your way to work to having advance warning of dangerous or potentially life-threatening storms. Dynamical Modeling is a subset of Differential Equations in which many professionals dedicate their entire careers to understanding a single problem, and one of the classic examples of this type of system is weather predictions and modeling. A dynamical system is a system of mathematical equations representing the ways in which the current state of a real or abstract set of data changes based on its current values, the passage of time, or any other measurable variable involved. This poster seeks to explain at a basic level the type of systems the prediction and understanding of weather phenomena can be represented by, and the principles under which these types of systems operate.
