Abstract:

This talk will trace the development of the technology of weather prediction and review the current state of the science. Atmospheric sciences began as a probabilistic "art," but rapidly turned deterministic with the success of numerical weather prediction. Today, with the rapid develop of ensemble prediction techniques and improved post-processing, weather prediction is returning to its probabilistic roots.
