Introduction to Atmospheric Modelling explores the power of mathematics to help us understand complex atmospheric phenomena through mathematical modelling. The author has thoughtfully chosen a path into and through the subject that gives the reader a glimpse of the dynamics underlying phenomena ranging from a sea breeze through mid-latitude cyclonic disturbances to Rossby waves, mainly through the lens of scaling analysis. Written for students with backgrounds in mathematics, physics and engineering, this book will be a valuable resource as they begin studying atmospheric science. INDICE: Prologue; 1. Atmospheric phenomena and their study; 2. Scale analysis of the governing equations; 3. Small scale dynamics; 4. Large scale dynamics; 5. Waves in the atmosphere; Epilogue; Appendix A. Dimensional analysis and scales; References; Index.
