their parameterization in global climate models
NATO Advanced Research Workshop "Gravity Wave Processes and Their Parameterization in Global Climate Models" (1996 : Santa Fe, N.M.)
1 online resource (viii, 401 pages) : illustrations.
The subject of this volume is the observation and modelling of the gravity wave field in the atmosphere. The focus is on the question of how to include the effects of small-scale gravity waves in sophisticated global climate models. The book comprises 26 chapters, including contributions from distinguished experts in observation and theory, along with results from studies of gravity wave parameterization within comprehensive climate models.
