Abstract

Described is the second stage of the work (2011-2014) on the implementation and development of the COSMO-Ru system of nonhydrostatic short-range weather forecasting (the first stage of the implementation and development of the COSMO-Ru system is described in [7, 8]). Demonstrated is how the research activities and ideas of G.I. Marchuk influenced modern methods for solving the systems of differential equations that describe atmospheric processes (in particular, the version of the Marchuk’s splitting method is used to find the solution of the finite-difference analog of the system of differential equations in the COSMO-Ru model); it is shown how he contributed to the development of the methods of assimilation of meteorological information associated with the use of adjoint equations. Given is a brief description of the COSMO model of the atmosphere and soil active layer, the COSMO-Ru system, and research activities on this system development.
