Fundamentals of Atmospheric Modeling [Paperback]

A revised edition of a successful and comprehensive textbook for students of air pollution and meteorology.New edition of a successful and comprehensive textbook on the atmospheric processes, numerical methods, and computational techniques required for advanced students and scientists to successfully study air pollution and meteorology.From reviews:' I highly recommend the Jacobson book for graduate students and professionals engaged in atmospheric modeling. They will find themselves frequently reaching for it as a reference. I certainly do.'Daniel J. Jacob, Atmospheric Environment' recommended as a text for a rigorous course of study in air pollution meteorology and modeling.'T.
