This binormal approach\, while computationally efficient\, restricts the model’s ability to capture the full spectrum of potential shapes encountered in real-world atmospheric data. This thesis proposes to introduce a third normal pdf component strategically positioned between the existing two\, significantly enhancing the model’s representational flexibility. This trinormal representation allows for a wider range of grid-layer shapes while permitting analytic solutions for certain higher order moments. The core of this work lies in deriving the necessary mathematical transformations for incorporating the third normal pdf seamlessly into the CLUBB framework. This thesis lists all formulas\, inputs\, and outputs associated with the extended model as well as gives an outline\non how to check those equations. Additionally\, it describes certain asymptotic behavior of the trinormal pdf under various parameter settings. \nAdvisor: Prof. Vince Larson \nCommittee Members:\nProfs.

The contraction results are then used to prove a propagation of chaos uniformly in time\, which\nprovides quantitative bounds on convergence rate of interacting particle systems\, and establishes exponential ergodicity for McKean-Vlasov SDEs. The dissertation further develops suitable conditions on the coefficients of the McKean-Vlasov SDDE to obtain a contraction in Wasserstein distance using the coupling method again. These results are used to establish exponential ergodicity for McKean-Vlasov SDDEs. Last the dissertation obtains suitable conditions on the coefficients of the path dependent McKean-Vlasov SDE for a contraction in Wasserstein distance. \nAdvisor: Prof. Chao Zhu \nCommittee Members:\nProfs.

We will define the boundary of a hyperbolic group and give many examples. If time permits\, we will define a drilling of a hyperbolic group and explore how this operation changes the boundary.
