Introduction to Atmospheric Modelling

Introduction to Atmospheric Modelling explores the power of mathematics to help us understand complex atmospheric phenomena through mathematical modelling. The author has thoughtfully chosen a path into and through the subject that gives the reader a glimpse of the dynamics underlying phenomena ranging from a sea breeze through mid-latitude cyclonic disturbances to Rossby waves mainly through the lens of scaling analysis. Written for students with backgrounds in mathematics physics and engineering this book will be a valuable resource as they begin studying atmospheric science.
