Features: This book systematically explains the basic principles and methods of numerical weather prediction, and appropriately introduces some new developments and achievements in the field of numerical weather prediction in recent years. The book is divided into eight chapters, covering topics such as the fundamentals of numerical weather prediction, the overall properties of atmospheric motion and the energy constraint relationship, atmospheric waves, numerical computation methods, barotropic and baroclinic primitive equation models, initial and boundary conditions, as well as the treatment methods of physical processes in the model. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students in meteorology and related fields at universities, and can also be used as a reference for scientific research and operational personnel in meteorology, oceanography, hydrology, and other departments.
