Katsafados P., Mavromatidis E., Spyrou C. Numerical Weather Prediction and Data Assimilation, Volume 6

ISTE – Wiley, 2020. — 219 p. — (Engineering, Energy and Architecture Set). — ISBN: 9781119560463.This book has as main aim to be an introductory textbook of applied knowledge in Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP), which is a method of weather forecasting that employs: A set of equations that describe the flow of fluids translated into computer code, combined with parameterizations of other processes, applied on a specific domain and integrated in the basis of initial and domain boundary conditions. Current weather observations serve as input to the numerical computer models through a process called data assimilation to produce atmospheric properties in the future (e.g. temperature, precipitation, and a lot of other meteorological parameters). Various case studies will be also presented and analyzed through this book.True PDF
