Description for An Introduction to Global Spectral Modeling (Volume 35)
hardcover. An introductory book on numerical weather prediction, which focuses on the spectral transform method - an important component for global weather forecasts at numerous operational centers. It acts as a guide to the methods being used by nearly all major weather forecast centers in the United States, England, Japan, India, France, and Australia. Series: Atmospheric and Oceanographic Sciences Library. Num Pages: 330 pages, biography. BIC Classification: RBP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 19. Weight in Grams: 642.
This is an introductory textbook on global spectral modeling designed for senior-level undergraduates and possibly for first-year graduate students. This text starts with an introduction to elementary finite-difference methods and moves on towards the gradual description of sophisticated dynamical and physical models in spherical coordinates. Computational aspects of the spectral transform method, the planetary boundary layer physics, the physics of precipitation processes in large-scale models, the radiative transfer including effects of diagnostic clouds and diurnal cycle, the surface energy balance over land and ocean, and the treatment of mountains are some issues that are addressed. The topic of model initialization ... Read more

About Krishnamurti, T. N.; Bedi, H.S. (Research Assistant, Meteorology, Florida State University, Usa); Hardiker, V.; Watson-Ramaswamy, L.
T.N. Krishnamurti is professor of meteorology at Florida State University. He obtained his PhD in 1959 at the University of Chicago. His research interests are in the following areas: high resolution hurricane forecast (tracks, landfall, and intensity), monsoon forecasts on short, medium range, and monthly time scale and studies of interseasonal and interannual variability of the tropical atmosphere. As a ... Read more
Reviews for An Introduction to Global Spectral Modeling (Volume 35)
James Russell Carr in Mathematical Geology, Vol. 31, No. 8, 1999 on the book's first edition: In summary, the mathematical treatment is quite intense and demands patience of readers, at least in the case of this one. But if at all intrigued by how sophisticated weather forecasting has become (certainly strom forecasting) then a reader will ... Read more
