Lewis Fry Richardson dreamt that scientific weather prediction would one day become a practical reality. This book tells the story of Richardson's trial forecast, and the fulfillment of his dream of practical numerical weather forecasting. It includes a complete reconstruction of Richardson's forecast, and analyses in detail the causes of his failure.
