Semester I Project
Design and reproduce a numerical-model experiment measuring the consequences of a numerical, grid or physical-model choice.
Semester II Project
Build and diagnose a low-dimensional assimilation/ensemble experiment, then connect it to operational DA concepts.
Graduate Capstone
Construct a transparent educational forecast-assimilation system: dynamical model → numerical solver → observations → analysis update → ensemble/scenarios → verification → limitations → defense.
Research Distinction
For advanced mathematical work, connect Statistics, Introduction to Proofs and optionally Real & Complex Analysis to convergence, uncertainty, inverse problems or DA methodology.
