Semi-Lagrangian Advection Methods and Their Applications in GeoscienceAuthor(s): Steven James Fletcher\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Elsevier Science Publishing Co Inc, United States\nImprint: Elsevier Science Publishing Co Inc\nISBN-13: 9780128172223, 978-0128172223\nSynopsis\nSemi-Lagrangian Advection Methods and Their Applications in Geoscience provides a much-needed resource on semi-Lagrangian theory, methods, and applications. Covering a variety of applications, the book brings together developments of the semi-Lagrangian in one place and offers a comparison of semi-Lagrangian methods with Eulerian-based approaches. It also includes a chapter dedicated to difficulties of dealing with the adjoint of semi-Lagrangian methods and illustrates the behavior of different schemes for different applications. This allows for a better understanding of which schemes are most efficient, stable, consistent, and likely to introduce the minimum model error into a given problem. Beneficial for .
