About this Item

Neuware -Weather and climate are of concern to virtually all countries worldwide. For many countries the economy depends largely on agriculture, which is significantly affected by variations in weather and climate. This volume contains many original findings on weather and climate related to atmospheric and oceanic processes through mathematical modeling, numerical simulations, and field experiments and it will be useful as a reading material in graduate level courses dealing with weather, climate, boundary layer and air quality. The scientific community at large, especially younger scientists, will find this book a useful addition to their personal and institutional libraries.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 328 pp. Englisch.

From the Back Cover

Weather and climate are of concern to virtually all countries worldwide. For many countries the economy depends largely on agriculture, which is significantly affected by variations in weather and climate. Several South Asian countries, for example, are prone to natural hazards such as tropical cyclones, droughts, and floods. In fact, Indian economy is dubbed by many as a "Monsoon Gamble". Rapid industrialization and urbanization add to further deterioration of our environment.
This volume contains many original findings on weather and climate related to atmospheric and oceanic processes through mathematical modeling, numerical simulations, and field experiments. These scientific papers examine and provide the latest developments on a range of topics that include drought, intra-seasonal variability of monsoons, tropical cyclones, mesoscale processes, and air quality. This volume will be useful as a reading material in graduate level courses dealing with weather, climate, boundary layer and air quality. The scientific community at large, especially younger scientists, will find this book a useful addition to their personal and institutional libraries.
