Meteorologists and oceanographers build global atmospheric and oceanic models for weather and climate prediction using fundamental equations of fluid flow. This book provides a comprehensive account of such equations to improve understanding of the formulation of existing forecast models and encourage the development of more accurate models.

Andrew N. Staniforth - now retired - led the development of dynamical cores for weather and climate prediction at two national centres (Canada and the UK). He has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal articles, and is the recipient of various prizes and awards including: the Editor's Award (American Meteorological Society, 1990); the Andrew Thompson Prize (Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society, 1993); and the Buchan and Adrian Gill Prizes (Royal Meteorological Society, 2007 and 2009).
