Sommario/riassunto |
|
This updated edition of a successful text explains the basis and mechanisms of all types of physically based climate models and prepares the reader for the climate modelling literature. It will assist in understanding the relative complexities and applicabilities of the whole range of climate models without needing to follow each step or parameterization in a particular model. |
