Yucel I. (ed.) Atmospheric model applications

InTech, Croatia, 2012, 303 pp.
This book covers comprehensive text and reference work on atmospheric models for methods of numerical modeling and important related areas of data assimilation and predictability. It incorporates various aspects of environmental computer modeling including an historical overview of the subject, approximations to land surface and atmospheric physics and dynamics, radiative transfer and applications in satellite remote sensing, and data assimilation. With individual chapters authored by eminent professionals in their respective topics, Advanced Topics in application of atmospheric models try to provide in-depth guidance on some of the key applied in atmospheric models for scientists and modelers.Improving Atmospheric Model Performance on a Multi-Core Cluster System. / Carla Osthoff, Roberto Pinto Souto, Fabricio Vilasboas,Pablo Grunmann, Pedro L.
