Climate Modeling for Scientists and Engineers

Beschreibung

Climate modeling and simulation teach us about past, present, and future conditions of life on earth and help us understand observations about the changing atmosphere and ocean and terrestrial ecology. Focusing on high-end modeling and simulation of earth's climate, Climate Modeling for Scientists and Engineers: 1. Presents observations about the general circulations of the earth and the partial differential equations used to model the dynamics of weather and climate. 2. Covers numerical methods for geophysical flows in more detail than many other texts. 3. Discusses parallel algorithms and the role of high-performance computing used in the simulation of weather and climate. 4. Provides supplemental lectures and MATLAB? exercises on an associated Web page.

Autor

John B. Drake was a researcher and group leader at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory for thirty years and led the climate modeling efforts there from 1990 to 2010. Through collaborations with the National Center for Atmospheric Research and sister DOE national laboratories, Drake led the SciDAC projects that resulted in the Community Earth System Model (CESM1.0) released in 2010. Drake continues his involvement with the ORNL Climate Change Science Institute as a research professor at the University of Tennessee. He has taught graduate courses on climate modeling in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department and conducted research into the impacts of climate change.
