Reviews

'... [a] characteristic feature of this book that distinguish[es] it from the numerous other books on climate modelling [is] its focus on the stochastic dynamical system framework for representing the climate system ... accessible and potentially interesting to a wide audience.' Lucy J. Campbell, Mathematical Reviews


Author Information

Henk A. Dijkstra is Professor of Dynamical Oceanography at the Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Utrecht University, The Netherlands. His main research interests are in the application of dynamical systems methods to problems in climate variability and climate modeling. He is the author of Nonlinear Physical Oceanography (2nd edition, 2005) and Dynamical Oceanography (2008). He is a member of the Dutch Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 2005, he received the Lewis Fry Richardson medal from the European Geosciences Union and in 2009 he was elected a Fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.
