Zusammenfassung:Weather and climate result from both complex mechanisms in the atmosphere itself, and from interactions between the atmosphere and land and water surfaces. The atmosphere can be described as a stratified fluid envelope on a rough, unevenly heated, rotating planet. Approaches to understanding its behaviour, including and numerical modelling techniques, are presented here, as well as examples of the application of these techniques to the study of past, present and projected climates.
