Fundamentals of Atmospheric Modeling: Second Edition

Mark Z. Jacobson

Penerbit : Cambridge University Press

Tahun : 2005

This book is a comprehensive textbook on atmospheric processes and numerical methods for advanced students, researchers, and practitioners in atmospheric science, meteorology, and environmental science. It explains the physical foundations of atmospheric modeling, including atmospheric structure, thermodynamics, continuity equations, momentum equations, vertical-coordinate systems, boundary-layer processes, radiation, gas-phase chemistry, aerosols, cloud thermodynamics, deposition, and air–sea exchange. The second edition expands the treatment of numerical techniques and computational procedures used to simulate weather, air pollution, aerosol processes, cloud microphysics, atmospheric chemistry, and radiative transfer. It combines mathematical derivation, physical explanation, model formulation, programming practice, and applied modeling projects, making it relevant for understanding how numerical atmospheric models are built, tested, and applied to problems in weather prediction, air-quality simulation, and climate-related atmospheric analysis.
