Climate Modeling for Scientists and Engineers

Climate modeling and simulation teach us about past, present, and future conditions of life on earth and help us understand observations about the changing atmosphere and ocean and terrestrial ecology. Focusing on high-end modeling and simulation of earth's climate, Climate Modeling for Scientists and Engineers: Presents observations about the general circulations of the earth and the partial differential equations used to model the dynamics of weather and climate. Covers numerical methods for geophysical flows in more detail than many other texts. Discusses parallel algorithms and the role of high-performance computing used in the simulation of weather and climate. Provides supplemental lectures and MATLAB? exercises on an associated Web page.
