Semi Lagrangian Advection Methods And Their Applications In Geoscience

Semi-Lagrangian Advection Methods and Their Applications in Geoscience Book Summary

Semi-Lagrangian Advection Methods and Their Applications in Geoscience provides a much-needed resource on semi-Lagrangian theory, methods, and application. Covering a variety of applications, the book brings together developments of the semi-Lagrangian in one place and offers a comparison of semi-Lagrangian methods with Eulerian based approaches. It also includes a chapter dedicated to difficulties of dealing with the adjoint of semi-Lagrangian methods, and illustrates the behaviour of different schemes for different applications. This allows for a bitter understanding of which schemes are most efficient, stable, consistent, and likely to introduce the minimum model error into a given problem. Beneficial for students learning about numerical approximations to advection, researchers applying these techniques to geoscientific modeling, and practitioners looking for the best approach for modeling, Semi-Lagrangian Advection Methods and Their Applications in Geoscience fills a crucial gap in numerical modeling and data assimilation in geoscience.
