Abstract

Virtually all economic sectors as well as many public and private activities are affected in some measure by changes in weather and climate. Uncertainties in the scope and severity of these changes pose financial and social risks for individuals, businesses, and government agencies, with direct influence on food security and production, transport, health, electricity generation, and water resources. The vulnerability of human settlement to extreme weather and climate episodes is a further aspect that must be emphasized. Hence, achieving accurate weather and climate forecasts has important implications to modern society. In this chapter, we present an overview of the basic fluid-mechanical principles that govern the behaviour of weather and climate. We shall mainly focus on the numerical modelling of weather prediction and climate projections, spanning the range from the very first attempts, based on simple barotropic models, to the development of general circulation models of the atmosphere and ocean to the most recent multi-model ensemble forecasting systems.
