Abstract
Our central concern in this set of lectures will be the predictability of the atmosphere. Many of our presently accepted ideas on this subject have been gained from studies of other systems, including complex mathematical models of the atmosphere and simple sets of mathematical equations, and we shall consider the predictability of these systems also.
