Fundamentals of Atmospheric Modeling

Fundamentals of Atmospheric Modeling. M. Z. Jacobson. 1999. 656 pp. $49.95. Paperbound. Cambridge University Press. ISBN 0-521-63717-1.

Fundamentals of Atmospheric Modeling provides an overview of the dynamics, physical processes, and chemistry that are important to understanding atmospheric science. As the title implies, the book also presents numerical techniques to simulate dynamical, physical, and chemical equations.

Because the presentation of the atmospheric dynamics, physics, and chemistry is put forth as an overview, the textbook is appropriate for a student in the engineering or earth science fields. A graduate student in the atmospheric sciences would gain much …
