The lectures in this volume, first published in 2002, cover numerical weather prediction, chaotic atmospheric dynamics, atmospheric modelling.

Su questo libro

Descrizione del libro

These lectures explain why simplifications to Newton's second law produce accurate, useful models and, just as meteorologists seek weather patterns, mathematicians seek to understand the structure behind the governing equations. This book and its companion show how geometry and analysis quantify the physical concepts, and thus facilitate new solution strategies.
