Computer modelling in atmospheric and oceanic sciences : building knowledge / Peter Müller, Hans von Storch ; foreword by Klaus Hasselmann.
This textbook is about quasi-realistic models in atmospheric and oceanic sciences. Understanding the basis and limitations of these models is important since far reaching decisions about the environment are based on these models. It is novel in that it goes beyond a technical discussion of these qua...
