Purpose is to demonstrate feasibility and utility of nonoscillatory forward-in-time (NFT) methods formodeling the global dynamics of the atmosphere and oceans. This includes development of new algorithms, construction of numerical models, and testing these models. One aspect of the research is to compare two variants of NFT methods, one based on Eulerian approximations and the other based on semi-Lagrangian approximations
