This scholarly text provides an introduction to the numerical
methods used to model partial differential equations, with focus on
atmospheric and oceanic flows. The book covers both the essentials
of building a numerical model and the more sophisticated techniques
that are now available. Finite difference methods, spectral
methods, finite element method, flux-corrected methods and TVC
schemes are all discussed. Throughout, the author keeps to a middle
ground between the theorem-proof formalism of a mathematical text
and the highly empirical approach found in some engineering
publications. The book establishes a concrete link between theory
and practice using an extensive range of test problems to
illustrate the theoretically derived properties of various methods.
From the reviews: "...the books unquestionable advantage is the
clarity and simplicity in presenting virtually all basic ideas and
methods of numerical analysis currently actively used in
geophysical fluid dynamics." Physics of Atmosphere and Ocean
