Paleomagnetism is the study of the fossil magnetism in rocks. It
has been paramount in determining that the continents have drifted
over the surface of the Earth throughout geological time. The
fossil magnetism preserved in the ocean floor has demonstrated how
continental drift takes place through the process of sea-floor
spreading. The methods and techniques used in paleomagnetic studies
of continental rocks and of the ocean floor are described and then
applied to determining horizontal movements of the Earth's crust
over geological time. An up-to-date review of global paleomagnetic
data enables 1000 million
An important purpose of The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry is to aid the understanding of distribution and chemical reaction processes which occur in the environment. Volume 1, Part E of this series is dedicated to Environmental Systems, Physical Properties of the Atmosphere, Global Transport and the Thermodynamics of Ecosystems.
During the past decade, the science of dynamic meteorology has continued its rapid advance. The scope of dynamic meteorology has broadened considerably. Much of the material is based on a two-term course for seniors majoring in atmospheric sciences. This book presents a cogent explanation of the fundamentals of
meteorology and explains storm dynamics for weather-oriented
meteorologists. It discusses climate dynamics and the implications
posed for global change. The new edition has added a companion
website with MATLAB exercises and updated treatments of several key
topics. NEW IN THIS EDITION A companion website with MATLAB(r) exercises and demonstrationsUpdated treatments on climate dynamics, tropical meteorology, middle atmosphere dynamics, and numerical prediction
Introduction to Micrometeorology is intended as a textbook for courses in micrometeorology for undergraduate students (juniors or seniors) in meteorology or environmental science, as well as for an introductory graduate-level course in boundary-layer meteorology. It will also serve as a good reference for professional meteorologists, environmental scientists and engineers, particularly those interested in problems of air pollution, atmospheric-biospheric interactions, wind-engineering and engineering meteorology. The book outlines basic laws and concepts, before using qualitative descriptions to introduce more complex theories. This new edition is updated and expanded, as are the references. Each chapter features worked-through problems and exercises.
For advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in atmospheric, oceanic, and climate science, Atmosphere, Ocean and Climate Dynamics is an introductory textbook on the circulations of the atmosphere and ocean and their interaction, with an emphasis on global scales. It will give students a good grasp of what the atmosphere and oceans look like on the large-scale and why they look that way. The role of the oceans in climate and paleoclimate is also discussed. The combination of observations, theory and accompanying illustrative laboratory experiments sets this text apart by making it accessible to students with no prior training in meteorology or oceanography.
A group of distinguished scientists contributes to the foundations
of a new discipline in Earth sciences: earthquake thermodynamics
and thermodynamics of formation of the Earth's interior structures.
The predictive powers of thermodynamics are so great that those
aspiring to model earthquake and the Earth's interior will
certainly wish to be able to use the theory. Thermodynamics is our
only method of understanding and predicting the behavior of many
environmental, atmospheric, and geological processes. The need for
Earth scientists to develop a functional knowledge of thermodynamic
concepts and methodology is therefore urgent. Sources of an entropy
increase the dissipative and self-organizing systems driving the
evolution and dynamics of the Universe and Earth through
irreversible processes. The non-linear interactions lead to the
formation of fractal structures. From the structural phase
transformations the important interior boundaries emerge.
El Nino and the Southern Oscillation is by far the most striking
phenomenon caused by the interplay of ocean and atmosphere. It can
be explained neither in strictly oceanographic nor strictly
meteorological terms. This volume provides a brief history of the
subject, summarizes the oceanographic and meteorological
observations and theories, and discusses the recent advances in
computer modeling studies of the phenomenon.
