Prof. David A. Randall received his Ph.D. in Atmospheric Sciences from the University of California, Los Angeles, in 1976. He served as a faculty member at the Department of Meteorology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1976 to 1979. Subsequently, he served as a meteorologist at the Global Modeling and Simulation Branch, NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center (1979-1988). Since 1988, he has been a member of the faculty at the Department of Atmospheric Science, Colorado State University, where he is currently a University Distinguished Professor.

Dr. Parthasarathi Mukhopadhyay is currently working as a senior scientist at the IITM, Pune, India. He received his Ph.D. degree from S. P. Pune University in 2005 and has since worked extensively in the field of numerical modelling of mesoscale systems, thunderstorms and tropical cyclones. He has particularly contributed to the development of cloud and convective processes in numerical models. He was awarded the IITM Pune's Silver Jubilee Award for best research paper in 2002 and 2010, and received the Ministry of Earth Science's Certificate of Merit for outstanding contributions in Atmospheric Science and Technology in 2015. An Adjunct Professor at the Department of Atmospheric and Space Sciences, S. P. Pune University, he has published 46 papers in peer-reviewed journals.
This book focuses on the development of physical parameterization over the last 2 to 3 decades and provides a roadmap for its future development. It covers important physical processes: convection, clouds, radiation, land-surface, and the orographic effect. The improvement of numerical models for predicting weather and climate at a variety of places and times has progressed globally. However, there are still several challenging areas, which need to be addressed with a better understanding of physical processes based on observations, and to subsequently be taken into account by means of improved parameterization. And this is all the more important since models are increasingly being used at higher horizontal and vertical resolutions. Encouraging debate on the cloud-resolving approach or the hybrid approach with parameterized convection and grid-scale cloud microphysics and its impact on models' intrinsic predictability, the book offers a motivating reference guide for all researchers whose work involves physical parameterization problems and numerical models.
