Parameterization of Atmospheric Convection (In 2 Volumes)

Klappentext This two-volume set combines theoretical and statistical physics ideas on convective parameterization with a wealth of information on the practical and operational use of parameterizations in weather forecast and climate models. The motivation for this approach is the assumption that future advances in the subject are most likely to arise from the application of theoretical concepts to practical problems, a feeling within the community that has led to the EU-funded COST Action investigative project. Contributors to the book are leading participants in Action, all of whom have devoted much attention over the last few years to building up a thorough knowledge of both theory and practice. Parameterization of Atmospheric Convection intends to equip theoretically oriented scientists with a firm grasp of the important practical issues, and vice versa to equip application-oriented scientists with a firm grasp of the important theoretical tools. This makes the parameterization problem accessible to a wider range of scientists than before. At the same time, by providing a solid bottom up presentation of the principles and practice of parameterization, this two-volume set is the definitive reference point for current atmospheric scientists and modellers working on such problems. Zusammenfassung This two-volume set combines theoretical and statistical physics ideas on convective parameterization with a wealth of information on the practical and operational use of parameterizations in weather forecast and climate models.
