Download or read book Numerical Weather Prediction and Data Assimilation written by Petros Katsafados and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-07-16 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
