Training. for universities on special . "Meteorology". — L. Hydrometeoizdat, 1991. — 295 s. The current state of the theory of formation of the general circulation of the atmosphere (OCA) and the Earth's climate is summarized and presented in a systematized form ........ In the description of models of OCA,. , [ Created as a domestic , [CM as well as foreign researchers[edit] [ the greatest attention is paid to the physical side of the problem and the analysis of the results of numerical modeling of global meteorological fields and atmospheric phenomena, as well as comparing theoretical results with observational data............ A qualitative analysis of the equations is given, which allows to explain a number of important physical laws of formation and structure of the OCA and climate.
