one review (AMS) a second review (EMS), 

"Invisible in the Storm" recounts 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, the authors Ian Roulstone and John Norbury narrate the groundbreaking
  evolution of modern forecasting.
