This is interesting... On the uses and importance of hydrostatic Vs non-hydrostatic models.
The improvements in #weatherForecasting in the last 20-30 years are sometimes called "the quiet revolution" - not just improved resolution and processes but especially data assimilation of satellite and ground observations have been key..

Fascinating to see how #NWP resolution has developed...
From 55km in the 1980s(!) to sub kilometre resolution now.. #DAMSdk #DAMSsommerMøde #WeatherForecast

Admirably simple description of #NWP - numerical weather prediction by pioneer Bent Hansen Sass
The 1970s and especially 1980s are when everything changed in weather forecastibg with the introduction of large computers. This is a photo of the first big (literally) hpc @dmidk. then there were 5 employees in IT department, now there are more than 100
