Examples of non-hydrostatic models; Further reading; References; Index.Numerical models have become essential tools in environmental science, particularly in weather forecasting and climate prediction. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the techniques used in these fields, with emphasis on the design of the most recent numerical models of the atmosphere. It presents a short history of numerical weather prediction and its evolution, before describing the various model equations and how to solve them numerically. It outlines the main elements of a meteorological forecast suite, and the theory is illustrated throughout with practical examples of operational models and parameterizations of physical processes. This book is founded on the author's many years of experience, as a scientist at Météo-France and teaching university-level courses. It is a practical and accessible textbook for graduate courses and a handy resource for researchers and professionals in atmospheric physics, meteorology and climatology, as well as the related disciplines of fluid dynamics, hydrology and oceanography.Numerical weather forecastingWeather forecastingMathematical modelsNumerical weather forecasting.Weather forecastingMathematical models.551.63/4SCI042000bisacshCoiffier Jean1603279Sutcliffe ChristopherUkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910811965603321Fundamentals of numerical weather prediction3927590UNINA
