  Climate simulations and projections with a super-parameterized climate model
Stan C., Xu L. Environmental Modelling & Software 60134-152, 2014.  Type: Article

The existing approaches to climate modeling to represent the main effects of clouds on the atmosphere are essentially based on a statistical approach to handle the uncertainty of the parameters of cloud dynamics....

  Climate modeling for scientists and engineers
Drake J., SIAM, Philadelphia, PA, 2014. 173 pp.  Type: Book (978-1-611973-53-2)

Modeling in general, and for climate in particular, involves an understanding of the physical phenomena at several stages, which are nicely and concisely developed in this work: conceptual, mathematical, numerical, and computational.

  Mathematics and climate
Kaper H., Engler H., Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, Philadelphia, PA, 2013. 317 pp.  Type: Book (978-1-611972-60-3)

A Nobel laureate warned me, some time ago, to be on the alert for the stage at which “your mathematics departs the physics.” Because physics and chemistry underlie climate science, mathematics plays, to say the leas...
