Finite Difference Methods for Weather Prediction in Abuja, Nigeria

By

Abstract

In this study, we simulate some finite difference schemes numerically to predict weather trends of Abuja Station, Nigeria. By evaluating the results from these schemes, it has shown that the best scheme in the finite difference method that gives a close accurate weather forecast is the trapezoidal scheme hence we use it to simulate numerical weather data obtained from Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Abuja and corresponding numerical weather data obtained by the compatible finite difference schemes, using MATLAB (R2012a) software to obtain future numerical weather trends.
