Table of Contents1: Introduction 2: An Introduction to finite differencing 3: Time-differencing schemes 4: What is a spectral model? 5: Lower-order spectral model 6: Mathematical aspects of spectral models 7: Multilevel global spectral model 8: Physical processes 9: Initialization procedures 10: Spectral energeticsReviews[P]resents thoroughly the mathematics involved in modeling . . . storms, forecasting their paths, and understanding associated atmospheric dynamics. This book is intensively mathematical, with a focus on differential and integral calculus. . . . With respect to integral calculus, the section of the book on Gauss quadrature is interesting and unique . . . The two chapters on physical processes and initialization procedures are equally well written and explain the physical processes that must be accounted for in models . . . [I]f at all intrigued by how sophisticated weather forecasting has become . . . , then a reader will find this book not only interesting, but thorough enough to enable model development if that is a goal. Problems are presented at the end of each chapter, so this book can be used as a text in the classroom. Researchers involved in the modeling of turbulence, ocean systems, and tectonic systems may also value the presentations in this book. --Mathematical Geology Author InformationTab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
