  • Contents: This book is by leaders in the field, with Manabe receiving a Nobel prize in Physics. The introduction covers the progression of model developments commencing with the greenhouse effect and global warming. Then nine chapters follow, with each covering a major step in the evolution of numerical climate change models. Early studies, one dimensional models, general circulation models, early numerical experiments, climate sensitivity, glacial interglacial comparisons, the ocean, cold climates and deep water formation, and global changes in water availability are all covered as are implications of the models for our future.
