Variational integrator for the RSW equation on the sphere under local uncertainty

Numerical simulation is a cornerstone of modern science and industry, and is used in many facets of our everyday lives. While many of us are familiar with short-term weather forecasting, substantially more computational effort is dedicated to longer-term simulations of the Earth’s ocean and atmosphere, for climate and other reasons. In such simulations, certain properties of the physical system, such as conservation of mass and energy, are critical to achieving physical fidelity, and much research effort has been devoted to developing simulation algorithms that preserve these and other properties, known as variational or geometric numerical integrators. During my stay, I will work with Drs. Werner Bauer and Etienne Mémin on the development of a stochastic variational integrator on refined grids for the rotating shallow water equations on the sphere.
