Coupled Atmosphere-Ocean Dynamics of Climate Variability and
Climate Change presents the patterns, mechanisms, and
predictability of climate variability and anthropogenic climate
change. Based on a graduate course the author has taught over 25
years, this book provides the physical foundation for those who are
interested in fundamental questions such as: why climate varies
from one year to another; how predictable climate is; and how
climate will change in the face of increasing greenhouse gases in
the atmosphere. This is the first comprehensive and systematic
treatment of this subject that simultaneously draws on the latest
research and is accessible for graduate students. The book takes a
step-by-step systematic approach to coupled ocean-atmosphere
interactions. This allows a wide range of comparative views:
climate modes among and across different tropical ocean basins,
ocean feedback on the atmosphere (in and out of the tropics), and
spontaneous internal oscillation versus externally forced climate
change. Such comparative views offer unprecedented insight into the
dynamics of climate variability and predictability. This book can
be used as supplementary reading for advanced undergraduate
students, as coursework in climate dynamics, modeling, variability,
and change, and as a reference book and research monograph for
researchers in ocean, atmospheric, climate, and earth system
sciences.
