The thermodynamics of the atmosphere is the subject of several
chapters in most textbooks on dynamic meteorology, but there is no
work in English to give the subject a specific and more extensive
treatment. In writing the present textbook, we have tried to fill
this rather remarkable gap in the literature related to atmospheric
sciences. Our aim has been to provide students of meteorology with
a book that can playa role similar to the textbooks on chemical
thermodynamics for the chemists. This implies a previous knowledge
of general thermodynamics, such as students acquire in general
physics courses; therefore, although the basic principles are
reviewed (in the first four chapters), they are only briefly
discussed, and emphasis is laid on those topics that will be useful
in later chapters, through their application to atmospheric
problems. No attempt has been made to introduce the thermodynamics
of irreversible processes; on the other hand, consideration of
heterogeneous and open homogeneous systems permits a rigorous
formulation of the thermodynamic functions of clouds (exclusive of
any consideration of microphysical effets) and a better
understanding of the approx imations usually implicit in practical
applications."
