  Book Description
   Invisible in the
Storm is the first book to recount the history, personalities, and ideas behind one of the greatest scientific successes
of modern times--the use of mathematics in weather prediction. Although humans have tried to forecast weather for
millennia, mathematical principles were used in meteorology only after the turn of the twentieth century. From the first
proposal for using mathematics to predict weather, to the supercomputers that now process meteorological information
gathered from satellites and weather stations, Ian Roulstone and John Norbury narrate the groundbreaking evolution of
modern forecasting.
  The authors begin with Vilhelm Bjerknes, a Norwegian physicist and meteorologist who in 1904
came up with a method now known as numerical weather prediction. Although his proposed calculations could not be
implemented without computers, his early attempts, along with those of Lewis Fry Richardson, marked a turning point in
atmospheric science. Roulstone and Norbury describe the discovery of chaos theory's butterfly effect, in which tiny
variations in initial conditions produce large variations in the long-term behavior of a system--dashing the hopes of
perfect predictability for weather patterns. They explore how weather forecasters today formulate their ideas through
state-of-the-art mathematics, taking into account limitations to predictability. Millions of variables--known, unknown,
and approximate--as well as billions of calculations, are involved in every forecast, producing informative and
fascinating modern computer simulations of the Earth system.
  Accessible and timely, Invisible in the Storm
explains the crucial role of mathematics in understanding the ever-changing weather.
  
 
Reviews
  "Mathematicians Ian Roulstone and John Norbury demystify the maths
behind meteorology. Trailblazers' work is vividly evoked, from eighteenth-century mathematician Leonhard Euler on
hydrostatics to physicist Vilhelm Bjerknes's numerical weather prediction. The pace cranks up with twentieth-century
advances such as Jule Gregory Charney's harnessing of the gargantuan ENIAC computer for his work in the 1940s and 1950s
on forecasting pressure patterns."--Nature
  
  "One of the great
strengths of the book is the way it picks apart the challenge of making predictions about a chaotic system, showing what
improvements we might yet hope for and what factors confound them."--Philip Ball,
Prospect
  
  "A welcome and authoritative account of the 20th-century contributions of
mathematically sophisticated meteorologists such as Vilhelm Berknes (1862--1951), Carl-Gustav Rossby (1898--1957), Jule
Charney (1917--1981), and Ed Lorenz (1917--2008). . . . Clearly, this book is informative and inspirational, leaving
plenty of room for innovations by future generations of mathematicians and modelers."--James
Rodger Fleming, MAA Reviews
  
  "This book gives a deep insight of the mathematics involved in the
forecast of weather. . . . The authors have done a brilliant work to collect a huge amount of historical information, as
well as mathematical information, but keeping always a level in the explanations that makes the text accessible to
undergraduate students in the first years, and even to people not so familiar with mathematics. All in all, this is a
very interesting and enjoyable reading."--Vicente Muñoz, European Mathematical
Society
  
  "Shows how much modern weather forecasting depends on mathematics. . . . A superior
read."--Alexander Bogolomny, CTK Insights
  
  "Takes readers on a
journey, starting with the initial vision of Bjerknes, and then leads them through the early unsuccessful
hand-calculated attempts at forecasting the weather mathematically, progressing to the use of early electronic computers
which, even though successful, could not produce a timely forecast. It concludes by describing the current methods of
Numerical Weather Prediction . . . a book that will appeal to the intelligent 'popular science' enthusiast without
disengaging the more theoretically-versed reader."--David-John Gibbs, Weather
  
  "UK mathematicians Roulstone and Norbury provide a lively account of the evolution of numerical weather
prediction, focusing on the individuals involved in advancing measurement of atmospheric properties and the
implementation of numerical methods to describe and predict atmospheric processes. . . . This unique historical
narrative will interest scholars of the history and philosophy of science."--Choice
  
  "Roulstone and Norbury do well within the constraints of this
species of book. The story they tell is far from exhausted. I hope they write a sequel!"--John P. Boyd, Mathematical Reviews
  
  "[A] fascinating account of
science's admirable but ultimately inadequate attempts to get to grips with the natural environment upon which we depend
for life itself, but which is equally capable of visiting death and destruction upon us."--Jonathan Gornall, The National
  
  "The authors have done well to create a
book that will appeal to the intelligent 'popular science' enthusiast without disengaging the more theoretically-versed
reader."--David-John Gibbs, Weather
  
  "Accessible and timely,
Invisible in the Storm explains the crucial role of mathematics in understanding the ever-changing weather."--Nina Shokina, Zentralblatt MATH
  
  "This is a well-written book giving a
generally clear and accessible account of how weather forecasts are prepared. The historical detail enlivens the
narrative and makes for an enjoyable read. The authors have considerable knowledge and expertise, and the book is
scientifically sound. It can be warmly recommended to anyone who wishes to understand, in broad terms, how modern
weather forecasts are made and how we may use models of the atmosphere to anticipate changes in the earth's
climate."--Peter Lynch, Notices of the AMS
  
  "This very readable book
provides an excellent insight into the history of forecasting the weather, with a considerable, but not too challenging,
mathematical bent."--Colin J W Czapiewski, Actuary
  
  "Invisible in
the Storm: The Role of Mathematics in Understanding Weather explores how mathematics and meteorology come together to
improve weather and climate prediction, taking readers on a fascinating journey through the work of trailblazing
scientists over the past 100 years."--University of Surrey website
  
 
"I really enjoyed reading the book and I would recommend it to specialists who want to get an overview of the history of
numerical weather prediction. I think it is also well worth reading for anyone who wishes to understand the developments
in the science of meteorology that has led to the present level of forecast skill."--Erland
Kallen, ECMWF Newsletter
  
  "Roulstone and Norbury have done an outstanding job and provide
readers a fine bibliography to continue their education on this fascinating topic."--Robert
E. O'malley, Jr., SIAM Review
  
  "Accessible and timely, Invisible in the Storm explains the
crucial role of mathematics in understanding the ever-changing weather."--World Book
Industry
  
  "[T]his is a well-written book giving a generally clear and accessible account of how

atmosphere to anticipate changes in the Earth's climate."--Peter Lynch, Irish Math Society
Bulletin
  
  "This book is highly readable and gives a bird's eye view of development of
meteorology. . . . It is strongly recommended to practitioners of meteorology and those interested in understanding this
complex subject."--Ravi S. Nanjundiah, Current Science
  
  "The authors
have to be applauded for having succeeded in writing a very entertaining and accessible book. . . . The book must be
considered essential reading for anyone interested in the history and mathematics of weather prediction."--Sebastian Reich, Jahresbericht der DMV
