This textbook presents all aspects of climate system dynamics, on
all timescales from the Earth's formation to modern human-induced
climate change. It discusses the dominant feedbacks and
interactions between all the components of the climate system:
atmosphere, ocean, land surface and ice sheets. It addresses one of
the key challenges for a course on the climate system: students can
come from a range of backgrounds. A glossary of key terms is
provided for students with little background in the climate
sciences, whilst instructors and students with more expertise will
appreciate the book's modular nature. Exercises are provided at the
end of each chapter for readers to test their understanding. This
textbook will be invaluable for any course on climate system
dynamics and modeling, and will also be useful for scientists and
professionals from other disciplines who want a clear introduction
to the topic.
