Most descriptions of climatic modeling assume readers to have a great deal of previous knowledge about atmospheric or ocean dynamics, but Washington (US National Center for Atmospheric Research) and Parkinson (US National Aeronautics and Space Administration) address readers in the atmospheric science, geography, geology, hydrology, oceanography, and ecology who may be only vaguely aware of climate models. They explain what the models are attempting to simulate, how they are constructed, what they have succeeded in simulating, and how they are being used for evaluation and prediction.

Arvustused

"An excellent second editionCompliments to the authors for a useful and carefully written book. I will assign it to my new Ph.D. students in the same way as I have asked them for almost two decades to read the first edition." --Oceanography, Vol. 18, No. 3, Sept. 2005

"This completely updated book provides a clear, unified and comprehensive view of global climate models, consisting of atmosphere, ocean, land/vegetation and sea ice components, and their application to simulations of present, past and future climates. The book will serve well as a text for graduate students, a valuable reference for climate specialists, and an attractive entry point for scientists from many disciplines who are interested in climate modeling and its applications." --John E. Kutzbach, University of Wisconsin

"This is an excellent book, well formatted, readable, and very informative to those entering the field or its neighbors." --Bull. Amer. Meteor. Soc., June 2006
