"Since the IXth volume in the series Handbook of Numerical Analysis, volumes are devoted to a single specific application and are for this reason called Special Volumes. This XIVth volume focuses on Computational Methods of the Atmosphere and the Ocean and serves to bring useful and important geophysical problems to the attention of mathematicians as well as to present useful tools developed by mathematicians. As such, it addresses a wide audience of researchers and is most useful to those which have some previous knowledge of the subject All chapters of the book are self-contained, include references and, if applicable, mostly gray-scale plots. 31 color-plates are collected at the end of the book."-- Zentralblatt MATH 1226-1
