Parameterization Schemes : Keys to Understanding Numerical Weather Prediction Models Paperback / softback
by David J. (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Norman, Oklahoma) Stensrud
Paperback / softback
Description
Numerical weather prediction models play an increasingly important role in meteorology, both in short- and medium-range forecasting and global climate change studies.
The most important components of any numerical weather prediction model are the subgrid-scale parameterization schemes, and the analysis and understanding of these schemes is a key aspect of numerical weather prediction.
This book provides in-depth explorations of the most commonly used types of parameterization schemes that influence both short-range weather forecasts and global climate models.
Several parameterizations are summarised and compared, followed by a discussion of their limitations.
Review questions at the end of each chapter enable readers to monitor their understanding of the topics covered, and solutions are available to instructors at www.cambridge.org/9780521865401.
This will be an essential reference for academic researchers, meteorologists, weather forecasters, and graduate students interested in numerical weather prediction and its use in weather forecasting.
