Fundamentals of Atmospheric Modeling 2nd Edition by Mark Z. Jacobson (PDF)

Description

This well-received and comprehensive textbook on atmospheric processes and numerical methods has been thoroughly revised. This edition includes a wide range of new numerical techniques for solving problems in areas such as cloud microphysics, ocean-atmosphere exchange processes and atmospheric radiative properties. It also contains improved descriptions of atmospheric physics, dynamics, radiation, and aerosol and cloud processes. It is essential reading for researchers, scientists and advanced students to successfully study air pollution and meteorology.

⭐This is Mr. Jacobson’s latest update to his unique text on the mathematical modeling of the atmosphere. I think it would be impossible to fully utilize this book if you have not already mastered college level physics, organic chemistry, calculus, both ordinary and partial differential equations, and numerical analysis and have some knowledge of atmospheric science. There are plenty of computer projects spread throughout this book too, so I guess a further requirement would be familiarity with a programming language, preferably MATLAB. This book basically merges all of these fields together in order to develop numerical models of atmospheric behavior. In fact, it looks like it would be a tough read for anyone who is not a graduate student of both atmospheric science and mathematics. By cross-referencing this book’s material with old textbooks I was able to get through chapter 5 OK, but I hit a wall when I got to the material on numerical solutions to partial differential equations in chapter six. My advice for scientists and engineers that need to know more about the atmosphere, meteorology, and the accompanying mathematics so that they can do some modeling but don’t have the Ph.D. pedigree necessary to get the most out of this book might want to invest in two other particular volumes:1. “Meteorology Today : An Introduction to Weather, Climate, and the Environment” by Ahrens. It is well-written and easy to read. Plus, it splits the difference between science-fair style books written for high schoolers and terse texts that read like a Ph.D. thesis. Buy it used without the CD or Infotrak and save yourself some money though!2. “Meteorology for Scientists and Engineers : A Technical Companion Book to C. Donald Ahrens’ Meteorology Today” by Stull. It provides the mathematical equations needed for a higher level of understanding of meteorology. The organization is mapped directly to the Ahrens book, and it contains detailed math and physics that expand upon concepts presented in Ahrens’ text, as well as numerous solved problems.Amazon does not have the table of contents for the latest edition of Jacobson’s book, so I show that here:1 Introduction2 Atmospheric structure, composition, and thermodynamics3 The continuity and thermodynamic energy equations4 The momentum equation in Cartesian & spherical coordinates5 Vertical-coordinate conversions6 Numerical solutions to partial differential equations7 Finite-differencing the equations of atmospheric dynamics8 Boundary-layer and surface processes9 Radiative energy transfer10 Gas-phase species, chemical reactions, and reaction rates11 Urban, free-tropospheric, and stratospheric chemistry12 Methods of solving chemical ODE’s13 Particle components, size distributions, and size structures14 Aerosol emission and nucleation15 Coagulation16 Condensation, evaporation, deposition, and sublimation17 Chemical equilibrium and dissolution processes18 Cloud thermodynamics and dynamics19 Irreversible aqueous chemistry20 Sedimentation, dry deposition, and air-sea exchange21 Model design, application, and testing
