The book provides a comprehensive overview of climatology in China, highlighting the significant advancements since 1949, including the increase in climatological stations and research fields. It explores various aspects of China's climate, such as monsoon patterns, climate fluctuations, and spatial-temporal variations. This work stands out as the first extensive English publication on the subject, filling a gap in the existing literature, which has primarily been in Chinese. The authors, Prof. Dr. M. Domros and Prof. Peng Gongbing, draw on extensive data and previous climatological studies.

In this book the authors consider the natural environment as an integrated system. The physical, chemical and biological processes that govern the behaviour of the environmental system can thus be understood through mathematical modelling, and their evolution can be studied by means of numerical simulation. The book contains a summary of various efficient approaches in atmospheric prediction, such as numerical weather prediction and statistical forecast of climate change, as well as other successful methods in land surface modelling. The authors explore new theories and methods in environment prediction such as systems analysis and information theory. Attention is given to new achievements in remote sensing tele-metering and geographic information systems.
