Physical Processes in Atmospheric Models - Info and Reading Options

This book presents the recent work of Indian and US Scientists who are specialists in the area of parameterization of physical processes in atmospheric models. Examples of the physical processes that are taking place in the atmosphere are the cumulus convection, boundary layer processes, mountain drag, radiation, air-sea interaction and land surface processes. Each physical processes have distinct horizontal and vertical scales. The horizontal scales of physical processes are in the range of 1 km and less while weather producing systems have at the lower end horizontal scale of a few hundred kilometres. It is therefore not possible to monitor observationally physical processes on operational basis. The objective of parameterization of physical processes is to express their effects on weather producing synoptic systems in terms of large scale parameters. The improved schemes of physical processes have contributed significantly to extend the range of prediction in mid-latitude say up to 6-7 days. However, our ability to predict monsoon beyond 2-3 days is less. This is partly due to deficiency in existing parameterization schemes of physical processes in addition to data gap. The papers presented in this volume though applicable to the atmospheric models in general, they become more relevant to monsoon forecasting in view of the considerable efforts now being made on dynamical prediction of monsoon.
