Climate Physics is a modern subject based on a space-era
understanding of the physical properties of the atmosphere and
ocean, their planetary-scale history and evolution, new global
measurement systems and sophisticated computer models, which
collectively make quantitative studies and predictions possible. At
the same time, interest in understanding the climate has received
an enormous boost from the concern generated by the realization
that rapid climate change, much of it forced by the relentless
increase in population and industrialization, is potentially a
serious threat to the quality of life on Earth. Our ability to
resist and overcome any such threat depends directly on our ability
to understand what physical effects are involved and to predict how
trends may develop. In an introductory course like that presented
here, we want to clarify the basics, topic by topic, and see how
far we can get by applying relatively simple Physics to the climate
problem. This provides a foundation for more advanced work, which
we can identify and appreciate at this level although of course a
full treatment requires more advanced books, of which there are
many.
