Download or read book Understanding of Atmospheric Systems with Efficient Numerical Methods for Observation and Prediction written by Lei-Ming Ma and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2019-05-02 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the technology of observation and prediction of atmospheric systems draws upon many common fields, until now the interrelatedness and interdisciplinary nature of these research fields have scarcely been discussed in one volume containing fundamental theories, numerical methods, and operational application results. This is a book to provide in-depth explorations of the numerical methods developed to better understand atmospheric systems, which are introduced in eight chapters. Chapter 1 presents an efficient algorithm for tropical cyclone center determination by using satellite imagery. Chapter 2 aims to identify atmospheric systems with a new polarization remote sensing method. Chapters 3-8 place emphasis on enhancing the performance of numerical models in the prediction of atmospheric systems that should be valuable for researchers and forecasters.
