Cloud and Precipitation Microphysics

Principles and Parameterizations

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book explains how the parameterization or mathematical representation of complex physics is developed and used for accurate numerical predictions of cloud and precipitation. It presents full derivations of these parameterizations, and, supported by online model codes, allows researchers and students to build parameterization packages at varying levels of complexity.
