This textbook provides a comprehensive yet accessible treatment of
weather and climate prediction, for graduate students, researchers and
professionals. It teaches the strengths, weaknesses and best practices
for the use of atmospheric models. It is ideal for the many scientists
who use such models across a wide variety of applications. The book
describes the different numerical methods, data assimilation, ensemble
methods, predictability, land-surface modeling, climate modeling and
downscaling, computational fluid-dynamics models, experimental designs
in model-based research, verification methods, operational prediction,
and special applications such as air-quality modeling and flood
prediction. This volume will satisfy everyone who needs to know about
atmospheric modeling for use in research or operations. It is ideal
both as a textbook for a course on weather and climate prediction and
as a reference text for researchers and professionals from a range of
backgrounds: atmospheric science, meteorology, climatology,
environmental science, geography, and geophysical fluid
mechanics/dynamics.
