Atmosoheric Modeling, Data Assimilation and Predictability

---

This comprehensive text and reference work on numerical weather prediction covers for the first time, not only methods for numerical modeling. but also the important related areas of data assimilation and predictability.

It incorporates all aspects of environmental computer modeling including an historical oven iew of the subject, eguations of motion and their approximations, a modem and clear description of numerical methods, and the determination of initial conditions using weather observations (an important new science known as data assimilation). Finally, this book provides a clear discussion of the problems of predictability and chaos in dynamical systems and how they can be applied to atmospheric and oceanic systems. This includes discussions of ensemble forecasting, El Nifio events, and how various methods contribute to improved weather and climate prediction. In each of these areas the emphasis is on clear and intuitive explanations of all the fundamental concepts, followed by a complete and sound development of the theory and applications.

Professors and students in meteorology, atmospheric science, oceanography, hydrology and environmental science will find much to interest them in this book which can also form the basis of one or more graduate-level courses. It will appeal to professionals modeling the atmosphere, weather and climate, and to researchers working on chaos, dynamical systems, ensemble forecasting and problems of predictability.

Eugenia Kalnay was awarded a PhD in Meteorolosgy from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1971 (Jule Charney, advisor). Following a position as Associate Professor in the same department, she became Chief of the Global Modeling and Simulation Branch at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (1983—7). From 1987 to 1997 she was Director of the Environmental Modeling Center (US National Weather Service) and in 1998 was awarded the Robert E. Lowry endowed chair at the University of Oklahoma. In 1999 she became the Chair of the Department of Meteorology at the University of Maryland. Professor Kalnay is a member of the US National Academy of Engineering and of the Academia Europaea, is the recipient of two gold medals from the US

| Department of Commerce and the NASA Medal for Exceptional Scientific Achievement, and has received the Jule Charney Award from the American Meteorological Society. The author of more than 100 peer reviewed papers on numerical weather prediction, data assimilation and predictability, Professor Kalnay is a key figure in this field and has pioneered many of the essential technigues
