| Beschreibung: | "Invisible in the Storm is the first book to recount the history, personalities, and ideas behind one of the greatest scientific successes of modern times--the use of mathematics in weather prediction. Although humans have tried to forecast weather for millennia, mathematical principles were used in meteorology only after the turn of the twentieth century. From the first proposal for using mathematics to predict weather, to the supercomputers that now process meteorological information gathered from satellites and weather stations, Ian Roulstone and John Norbury narrate the groundbreaking evolution of modern forecasting. The authors begin with Vilhelm Bjerknes, a Norwegian physicist and meteorologist who in 1904 came up with a method now known as numerical weather prediction. Although his proposed calculations could not be implemented without computers, his early attempts, along with those of Lewis Fry Richardson, marked a turning point in atmospheric science. Roulstone and Norbury describe the discovery of chaos theory's butterfly effect, in which tiny variations in initial conditions produce large variations in the long-term behavior of a system--dashing the hopes of perfect predictability for weather patterns. They explore how weather forecasters today formulate their ideas through state-of-the-art mathematics, taking into account limitations to predictability. Millions of variables--known, unknown, and approximate--as well as billions of calculations, are involved in every forecast, producing informative and fascinating modern computer simulations of the Earth system. Accessible and timely, Invisible in the Storm explains the crucial role of mathematics in understanding the ever-changing weather"-- Includes bibliographical references and index |

Although humans have tried to forecast weather for millennia, mathematical principles were used in meteorology only after the turn of the twentieth century. From the first proposal for using mathematics to predict weather, to the supercomputers that now process meteorological information gathered from satellites and weather stations, Ian Roulstone and John Norbury narrate the groundbreaking evolution of modern forecasting. The authors begin with Vilhelm Bjerknes, a Norwegian physicist and meteorologist who in 1904 came up with a method now known as numerical weather prediction. Although his proposed calculations could not be implemented without computers, his early attempts, along with those of Lewis Fry Richardson, marked a turning point in atmospheric science. Roulstone and Norbury describe the discovery of chaos theory's butterfly effect, in which tiny variations in initial conditions produce large variations in the long-term behavior of a system--dashing the hopes of perfect predictability for weather patterns. They explore how weather forecasters today formulate their ideas through state-of-the-art mathematics, taking into account limitations to predictability. Millions of variables--known, unknown, and approximate--as well as billions of calculations, are involved in every forecast, producing informative and fascinating modern computer simulations of the Earth system. Accessible and timely, Invisible in the Storm explains the crucial role of mathematics in understanding the ever-changing weather"-- Includes bibliographical references and index Geschichte gnd rswk-swf SCIENCE / Earth Sciences / Meteorology & Climatology bisacsh MATHEMATICS / Applied bisacsh NATURE / Weather bisacsh MATHEMATICS / Differential Equations bisacsh MATHEMATICS / Calculus bisacsh MATHEMATICS / History & Philosophy bisacsh Climatology / Data processing fast Climatology / Mathematical models fast Meteorology / Data processing fast Meteorology / Mathematical models fast Datenverarbeitung Geowissenschaften Mathematisches Modell Meteorology Data processing Climatology Data processing Meteorology Mathematical models Climatology Mathematical models Klimatologie (DE-588)4031178-8 gnd rswk-swf Mathematisches Modell (DE-588)4114528-8 gnd rswk-swf Mathematische Methode (DE-588)4155620-3 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte (DE-588)4020517-4 gnd rswk-swf Meteorologie (DE-588)4038953-4 gnd rswk-swf Mathematik (DE-588)4037944-9 gnd rswk-swf Wissenschaft (DE-588)4066562-8 gnd rswk-swf Numerische Wettervorhersage (DE-588)4268740-8 gnd rswk-swf General circulation model (DE-588)4466088-1 gnd rswk-swf Meteorologie (DE-588)4038953-4 s Mathematische Methode (DE-588)4155620-3 s Numerische Wettervorhersage (DE-588)4268740-8 s 1\p DE-604 General circulation model (DE-588)4466088-1 s Klimatologie (DE-588)4031178-8 s Mathematisches Modell (DE-588)4114528-8 s Wissenschaft (DE-588)4066562-8 s Geschichte z 2\p DE-604 Mathematik (DE-588)4037944-9 s 3\p DE-604 Geschichte (DE-588)4020517-4 s 4\p DE-604 Norbury, John Sonstige oth http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=509747 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 4\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
