Computer Modelling in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences: Building Knowledge by K.

Description: Computer Modelling in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences by K. Hasselmann, Peter K. MÜller Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Understanding the basis and limitations of quasi-realistic models in atmospheric and oceanic sciences is important since far reaching decisions about the environment are based on them. This comprehensive reference deals with the use of these models. It emphasizes their role and utility in generating knowledge about the system. Publisher Description Computer modeling pervades today all fields of science. For the study of com plex systems, such as the environment, it has become an indispensable tool. But it is also a tool that is often misunderstood and misinterpreted. These dangers are particularly pronounced in the environmental sciences, an area of interest and concern not only to scientists, but also to the general public, the media, policy makers and powerful interest groups. We cannot experiment with our planet. The only quantitative tool available for the assessment of the impact of our actions today on the future environment and living conditions of later generations is numerical modeling. The better the general understanding of the potential and limitations of numerical models, the better the chances for a rational analysis and discussion of environmental problems and poli cies. But in addition to the more recent political issue of human impacts on the environment, numerical models play an important role for the forecasting of natural environmental variability, such as tides and storm surges or the weathcr, or for the interpretation of environmental changes in the past, such as the relation between the Late Maunder Minimum of the sunspot cycle from 1675 to 1710 and the winter half year cooling at the end of the 17th century. The reasons for misunderstandings and misinterpretations of numerical model results are manifold. Author Biography Professor Muellers research interests and contributions are in the areas of Markov chain Monte Carlo posterior simluation, nonparametric Bayesian inference, hierarchical models, mixture models, and Bayesian decision problems. In recent research, he has developed related models and inference approaches for applications to bioinformatics problems. In particular, the use of Dirichlet process mixture models for inference in microarray group comparison experiments, decision theoretic solutions to sample size choice in high throughput gene and protein expression experiments, and the use of hierarch Details ISBN 3540203532 ISBN-13 9783540203537 Title Computer Modelling in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Author K.
