Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2002. — 370 p.These two volumes provide an up-to-date account of the mathematics and numerical modelling that underpins weather forecasting, climate change simulations, dynamical meteorology and oceanography.The articles are a combination of teaching/review material and present results from contemporary research.The subject matter will be of interest to mathematicians and meteorologists, from graduate students to experts in the field.The articles have been written with the intention of providing accessible, interdisciplinary, accounts. The Introduction, which appears in both volumes, provides a guide to, and a perspective on, the subject matter and contents, and draws some tentative conclusions about the possible directions for future research.
