Résumé

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. Warner, Applied Mechanical Review

Details the most advanced modeling techniques available
Contains numerous examples and problems with answers available to lecturers through the web
Includes step-by-step procedures for developing an atmospheric dynamics model, a chemical solver and other modeling tools
