This textbook is written for graduate students and researchers in
meteorology and related sciences. While most meteorological
textbooks only present equilibrium thermodynamics, this book also
introduces the linear theory of non-equilibrium and provides the
necessary background for more advanced studies. The authors start
by introducing the equations that describe the basic laws of
thermodynamics and entropy and go on to discuss the thermodynamics
of blackbody radiation, thermodynamic potentials, and the
constitutive equations of irreversible fluxes. Later chapters look
at the state functions of ideal gases, thermodynamics of cloud air,
heat equations for special adiabatic systems, atmospheric statics,
stability, and atmospheric energetics of hydrostatic equilibrium.
Each chapter ends with a set of exercises that are designed to help
the reader develop a deeper understanding of the subject. Answers
to all the exercises are given at the end of the book.
