Zusammenfassung
'Written by one of the young stars in atmospheric chemistry modeling, it provides the reader with one-stop shopping for understanding the physical principles and computational methods behind the different components of atmospheric models. The presentation is very clear and designed to provide quick reference. ... I highly recommend the Jacobson book for graduate students and professionals engaged in atmospheric modeling. They will find themselves frequently reaching for it as a reference. I certainly do.' Daniel J. Jacob, Atmospheric Environment
