'Written by one of the young stars in atmospheric chemistry modeling, it provides the reader with one-stop shopping for understanding the physical principles and computational methods behind the different components of atmospheric models. The presentation is very clear and designed to provide quick reference. ... I highly recommend the Jacobson book for graduate students and professionals engaged in atmospheric modeling. They will find themselves frequently reaching for it as a reference. I certainly do.' Daniel J. Jacob, Atmospheric Environment
'... fills a gap in the study of modeling atmospheric processes ... good as a source of information on numerical techniques and should be used as such by atmospheric scientists. ... contains a tremendous amount of information. ... I would recommend the text as a source of information to the practising atmospheric scientist and to the graduate student who plans to use models as a tool for research. ... could be used as a primary text for an engineering or earth science course, but would be a better supplementary textbook for an atmospheric science course.' Mary Barth, Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society
'... recommended for its intended purposes as a text for a rigorous course of study in air pollution meteorology and modeling. The book is also sufficiently comprehensive that it will serve as a useful reference for both atmospheric chemistry and dynamics.' T. Warner, Applied Mechanical Review
'... thoroughly recommended for those seeking a detailed treatise on the methodology of numerical modelling of atmospheric physical and chemical processes.' Roy Harrison, The Times Higher Education Supplement
'... a good, up-to-date overview of the subject. It is a valuable textbook for graduate and upper-level undergraduate courses in atmospheric sciences and meteorology and will also be useful for courses in Earth and environmental sciences.' World Meteorological Organization
'Overall this is a much needed text.' Contemporary Physics
'Each topic is presented with detailed discussion, drawing on a wealth of referenced, up-to-date literature, as well as more applied, detailed mathematical treatment. ... The text addresses a broad range of concepts relevant to modelling of atmospheric chemistry, aerosols, dynamics and radiation. While certainly not intended for the casual reader or general science audience, this book is more than worthy of a place on the 'well-thumbed' shelf of any graduate student or professional involved with atmospheric science.'
