MODELS FOR TROPICAL CLIMATE DYNAMICS - BOUALEM ...

This book is a survey of the research work done by the author over the last 15 years  in
collaboration with various eminent mathematicians and climate scientists on the subject of
tropical convection and convectively coupled waves. In the areas of climate modelling and
climate change science  tropical dynamics and tropical rainfall are among the biggest
uncertainties of future projections. This not only puts at risk billions of human beings who
populate the tropical continents but it is also of central importance for climate predictions
on the global scale. This book aims to introduce the non-expert readers in mathematics and
theoretical physics to this fascinating topic in order to attract interest into this difficult
and exciting research area. The general thyme revolves around the use of new deterministic and
stochastic multi-cloud models for tropical convection and convectively coupled waves. It draws
modelling ideas from various areas of mathematics and physics and usedin conjunction with
state-of-the-art satellite and in-situ observations and detailed numerical simulations. After a
review of preliminary material on tropical dynamics and moist thermodynamics  including recent
discoveries based on satellite observations as well as Markov chains  the book immerses the
reader into the area of models for convection and tropical waves. It begins with basic concepts
of linear stability analysis and ends with the use of these models to improve the
state-of-the-art global climate models. The book also contains a fair amount of exercises that
makes it suitable as a textbook complement on the subject.
