Full Description
Physics of the Atmosphere offers a comprehensive overview of the processes of the Earth-atmosphere system. Readers will gain a thorough understanding of the physical underpinnings of meteorology and climatology. The text is organized into five parts beginning with a review of the mathematics that supports atmospheric physics. The second part lays the foundation by studying the Earth system, the atmosphere, solar and terrestrial radiation, electromagnetism, and thermodynamics. The third part examines water vapor, clouds, and precipitation. Then various systems are detailed, such as tropical weather systems, extratropical cyclones, polar weather systems, mesoscale convective systems, and microscale phenomena. The book closes with a look at measurement and modeling including weather forecasting. Case studies are presented throughout to offer readers real-world examples of these concepts and their applications. This comprehensive survey of atmospheric physics will serve as an invaluable resource for those studying and practicing in meteorology, climatology and other related fields.
