Klappentext zu „Computer Modeling in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences “
The book describes what these models are, what they are based on, how they function, and then, most innovatively, how they can be used to generate new useful knowledge about the environmental system.
Discusses this generation of knowledge by computer models from an epistemological perspective and illustrates it by numerous examples from applied and fundamental research.
Includes ample technical appendices and is a valuable source of information for graduate students and scientists alike working in the field of environmental sciences.
