Sommario/riassunto

This book focuses specifically on bin and bulk parameterizations for



the prediction of cloud and precipitation at various scales - the cloud scale, mesoscale, synoptic scale, and the global climate scale. It provides a background to the fundamental principles of parameterization physics, including processes involved in the production of clouds, ice particles, liquid water, snow aggregate, graupel and hail. It presents full derivations of the parameterizations, allowing readers to build parameterization packages, with varying levels of complexity based on information in the book. Architectures for a range of dynamical models are given, in which parameterizations form a significant tool for investigating large non-linear numerical systems. Model codes are available online at www.cambridge.org/9780521883382. Written for researchers and advanced students of cloud and precipitation microphysics, this book is also a valuable reference for all atmospheric scientists involved in models of numerical weather prediction.

Sommario/riassunto

"The book is meant to help students and professionals in dentistry to understand the complexity of the anxiety phenomenon, and in psychology to understand the specific situation for the dental phobia (DP) patient, and bridge the gap between dentistry and psychology"--
