Climate Dynamics

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"Climate change and its impacts are being embraced by a wider community than just earth scientists. A useful textbook, Climate Dynamics covers the basic science required to gain insights into what constitutes the climate system and how it behaves. While still being quantitative, the material is written in a lecture-note style that creates a simplified, but not simple, approach to teaching this complex subject."--Chris E. Forest, Pennsylvania State University "Comprehensive and rigorous, Climate Dynamics is a good reference for the basics of the field. With its in-depth treatment and perceptive exercises, it lays out an excellent undergraduate course on climate change--a topic of tremendous current interest. Cook's long experience working in the area shines through."--Richard Kleeman, New York University "This well-written and accessible book contains material for an introductory climate dynamics course. The choice of materials and presentation range from observations and simple radiative transfer models to climate feedbacks."--Tapio Schneider, California Institute of Technology
