Features: The main content of this book includes: principles of pattern design and analytical methods for preparing design patterns, as well as new technologies and new methods. The book is divided into 12 chapters, plus one appendix. Except for Chapter 1, which is a general introduction, the chapters are arranged in the following order: pattern analysis, problems in current atmospheric numerical models, discontinuities, physical factors and mechanisms that constrain atmospheric processes, global properties, time integration, grid design, coordination between different parts of the model, variable-grid models, global three-dimensional spectral models, and a nonhydrostatic finite-area model in Z-coordinates that considers terrain and fully elastic. The appendix also includes some mathematical methods that are not elaborated on in the chapters, such as Tschebyscheff polynomials, finite difference calculations and numerical integration in vertically non-uniform grids, rotating spherical coordinates, calculation of air parcel displacement, and multigrid methods. The book is rich in content, novel, and combines theory with practice. It is suitable for scientists and engineers in atmospheric science, oceanography, environmental science, and computational fluid dynamics, as well as students and faculty of universities and colleges. It can also serve as a reference for when applying it.
