"Climate Models" ed. by Leonard M. Druyan

This book presents a description of recent advances in methodologies for computer-based simulation of environmental variability. Subjects range from planetary-scale phenomena to regional ecology, from impacts of air pollution to the factors influencing floods and heat waves.

Climate Models offers a sampling of cutting edge research contributed by an international roster of scientists.
The discerning reader will be rewarded with new insights concerning modern techniques for the investigation of the natural world.
