- 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.
