Frontiers of Climate Modeling

Zusammenfassung An expert team of authors address developments in modeling the physics and dynamics of the atmosphere, and how these models affect our understanding of climate change. This 2006 text is an important reference for researchers and advanced students interested in understanding the forces driving the climate system.
