Spectral Numerical Weather Prediction Models, Paperback by Ehrendorfer, Martin, ISBN 1611971985, ISBN-13 9781611971989, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UKAustrian meteorologist Ehrendorfer describes the spectral theory in general terms, then applies it to numerical weather models to create a spectral numerical weather model called PEAK (Primitive-Equation Atmospheric research model Kernal). Th serves as a reference and bridge to complexities of the highly advanced models as they are now operationally used for forecasting weather and climate. It can be used for a graduate course in either spectral theory or numerical weather models for students in atmospheric sciences, physics, or mathematics. Among the topics are the primitive equations, the shallow-water model, balanced flow, vertical discretization, time integration, the code structure of PEAK, and barotropic PEAK configurations.
