This book looks at global atmospheric processes from a physical
standpoint using available current and past observational data
taken from measurements of relevant atmospheric parameters. It
describes various aspects of the current atmospheric state and its
future evolution, focusing primarily on the energetic balance of
the Earth and atmosphere, and taking into consideration the
multi-faceted global equilibrium between these two systems, carbon,
and water. The analysis presented in this book restricts itself to
those objects and processes that allow us to obtain reliable
conclusions and numerical estimations, in contrast to current
climate models with much larger numbers of parameters for
describing the same problems. As a result, in spite of the
roughness of numerical parameters, the book unveils a reliable and
transparent physical picture of energetic phenomena in the global
atmosphere. In particular, it shows that approximately only
one-fourth of atmospheric water returns from the atmosphere to the
Earth in the form of free molecules. It was shown that the
contemporary warming of our planet has an anthropogenic character,
and that the average global temperature increases due to an
increase of the concentration of atmospheric CO2 molecules, via an
increase in atmospheric moisture, as well as an increase in the
amount of aerosols in the atmosphere. Accumulation of atmospheric
carbon dioxide plays a subsidiary role in this process and gives
approximately one-third in a change of the global temperature,
while an increase in the amount of atmospheric water by as little
as only 0.3% per year explains the observed warming of the Earth.
The book shows how the greenhouse instability of the atmosphere
evidently has its origins in the Eocene epoch, presenting an
analysis of the influence of various types of global energetic
processes on the climate that differs from the official stance on
these problems.
