Climate Modeling for Scientists and Engineers is intended for graduate students in science and engineering. Climate modeling and simulation is the past, present, and future conditions of life on earth and explains observations about the changing atmosphere, ocean, and terrestrial ecology. Focusing on high-end modeling and the simulation of earth's climate, Climate Modeling for Scientists and Engineers:
- Presents observations about the general circulations of the earth and the partial differential equations used to model the dynamics of weather and climate
- Covers numerical methods for geophysical flows in more detail than many other texts
- Discusses parallel algorithms and the role of high-performance computing used in the simulation of weather and climate
- Provides supplemental lectures and MATLAB exercises on an associated website
This book is useful for a broad spectrum of computational science and engineering researchers, especially individuals seeking a brief introduction to the methods and capabilities of climate models. Individuals who use climate model results in their investigations will also find this text beneficial.
