This book describes the methods used to construct general circulation models of the atmosphere, and how such models perform in applications relating to the real climate and environmental systems. The author describes the fundamental dynamics of the atmospheric circulation, modelling of the general circulation, and applications of GCMs. The book consits of three parts:
- Part 1 summarizes the physical processes involved, including basic equations, waves and instabilities;
- Part 2 covers atmospheric structures, including various types of one- and two-dimensional structures and circulations;
- Part 3 describes the basic notions for construction of general circulation models of the atmosphere and their applications.
The text includes an appendix incorporating the basic data and mathematical formulae required to enable readers to construct GCMs for themselves.
From the reviews:
"The book is a compendium on modern dynamics of global circulation, with strong emphasis on the atmospheric branch. ... this book represents a highly valuable account of the role the major physical and mathematical fluid dynamics concepts play in the complex climate system. This is a new, fresh and authentic survey of the atmospheric branch of geophysical fluid dynamics; as such it can be recommended to a wide audience." (M. Hantel, Meteorologische Zeitschrift, Vol. 15 (4), 2006)
