General circulation models (GCMs), which define the fundamental
dynamics of atmospheric circulation, are nowadays used in various
fields of atmospheric science such as weather forecasting, climate
predictions and environmental estimations. The Second Edition of
this renowned work has been updated to include recent progress of
high resolution global modeling. It also contains for the first
time aspects of high-resolution global non-hydrostatic models that
the author has been studying since the publication of the first
edition. Some highlighted results from the Non-hydrostatic
ICosahedral Atmospheric Model (NICAM) are also included. The author
outlines the theoretical concepts, simple models and numerical
methods for modeling the general circulation of the atmosphere.
Concentrating on the physical mechanisms responsible for the
development of large-scale circulation of the atmosphere, the book
offers comprehensive coverage of an important and rapidly
developing technique used in the atmospheric science. Dynamic
interpretations of the atmospheric structure and their aspects in
the general circulation model are described step by step.
This book describes the methods used to construct general circulation models of the atmosphere, and how such models perform in applications relating to the real climate and environmental systems. The author describes the fundamental dynamics of the atmospheric circulation, modelling of the general circulation, and applications of GCMs. The book consits of three parts: - Part 1 summarizes the physical processes involved, including basic equations, waves and instabilities; - Part 2 covers atmospheric structures, including various types of one- and two-dimensional structures and circulations; - Part 3 describes the basic notions for construction of general circulation models of the atmosphere and their applications. The text includes an appendix incorporating the basic data and mathematical formulae required to enable readers to construct GCMs for themselves.
