Ask HN: Interesting papers on weather prediction?
3 comments
You might want to start with:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_weather_prediction
You say you want "some good papers", but I think you need a book, not an article or articles.
It's a big field, very broad, very well-developed, and quite technical on many levels (physical modeling, numerical propagation of PDEs, filtering/data assimilation). An international cast has contributed results and ideas for decades.
You might be able to find a survey article, but such an article would tend to be written for specialists. It tends to look like this:
http://people.sc.fsu.edu/~inavon/pubs/Springer_book.pdf [PDF]
The current state of the art in NWP is probably the ECMWF:

Thank you, especially for telling me the name of the field that I am looking for!
I think you're right in saying that a proper book is in order.

Not a technical journal per se, but this site looks* like an impressive resource:

Lorenz, E. N. (1963). "Deterministic nonperiodic flow". J. Atmos. Sci. 20 (2): 130–141
One of the papers that are related with weather as a chaotic phenomenon

Can anyone suggest some good papers to serve as a technical introduction to information processing/algorithms for weather prediction?
