This is a clearly written monograph on climate modelling which includes a broad overview of current observational facts and data, detailed descriptions of physical processes governing the dynamics of oceans and atmosphere, models and simulations of climate, and analyses of numerical solutions. The book is very useful not only to specialists in the immediate research of climate behavior but also a broader multidisciplinary scientific community, including graduate students, can benefit from it.NEWLINENEWLINEThe main text of the book, written in 8+165 pages, is divided into Preface, five Chapters, Conclusions, Bibliography and Index. In addition, the reader is directed to the site \texttt{www.siam.org/books/mm19} for some extra material which includes Supplemental Lectures in 47 pages divided into nine Chapters, Bibliography and Index, and Matlab Exercises in 51 pages divided into seven Chapters and Bibliography.NEWLINENEWLINEChapter 1 of the book is devoted to observational facts such as weather and climate records, satellite observations circulation patterns of the atmosphere and oceans, and couplings of different climate components. Physical properties and mathematical treatments of various geophysical flows are given in Chapter 2. This includes stratified and rotating fluids, shallow water equations, vorticity and turbulence, thermodynamics, and essentials of a climate model system including the butterfly effect. Chapter 3 describes various numerical methods used in climate modelling including the Galerkin spectral methods, Lagrangian transport method, and vorticity preserving method. Here, one also finds detailed explanations of parallel computing procedures. Different aspects of climate simulations and making conclusions, including the greenhouse effect, are discussed in Chapter 4. The final Chapter 5 contains various important steps of climate analysis including the spectral analysis, correlation analysis, stochastic dynamical system approximation, and uncertainty quantification. A list of cited 188 up-to-date references is given in the Bibliography.NEWLINENEWLINEThe additional material available free on the web site contains Supplemental Lectures with chapters on the history of climate science, fundamentals on fluid flows, Sturm-Liouville problem, numerical solutions of conservation laws, climate stochasticity and predictability, climate risks, and ecological issues among other things. The second part consist of Matlab exercises with chapters on numerical solving the specific problems encountered and treated in the book.
