Modal View of Atmospheric Variability: Applications of Normal-Mode Function Decomposition in Weather and Climate Research

by Nedjeljka Žagar

Book Overview

This book reviews the theory and applications of the normal-mode functions in numerical weather prediction and weather and climate dynamics. The normal-mode functions, the eigensolutions of the linearized primitive equations describing the evolution of atmospheric winds and mass variables, have been used for a long time. They have played an important role in the development of data assimilation schemes and the initialization of numerical weather...
