Explore the forefront of atmospheric and oceanographic sciences with ‘An Introduction To Global Spectral Modeling, 2E’. This essential textbook, perfect for senior undergraduates and graduate students, demystifies complex global spectral modeling. It guides readers from basic finite-difference methods to advanced dynamical and physical models in spherical coordinates. Discover key topics like spectral transform methods, boundary layer physics, precipitation, radiative transfer, surface energy balance, and mountain treatments. The second edition enhances coverage with new chapters on regional spectral modeling for mesoscale applications, the crucial area of ensemble modeling for weather and climate prediction, and adaptive observational strategies. A vital resource for understanding and evaluating climate and weather models.
