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 Me?te?o-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. 606 $aNumerical weather forecasting 606 $aWeather forecasting$xMathematical models 615 0$aNumerical weather forecasting. 615 0$aWeather forecasting$xMathematical models. 676 $a551.63/4 686 $aSCI042000$2bisacsh 700 $aCoiffier$b Jean$01498667 702 $aSutcliffe$b Christopher 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781938803321 996 $aFundamentals of numerical weather prediction$93724301 997 $aUNINA
