The Stratosphere, The - Phenomena, History and Relevance (Hardcover): K. Labitzke, Hendrik Willem Van Loon, H. van Loon The Stratosphere, The - Phenomena, History and Relevance (Hardcover)
K. Labitzke, Hendrik Willem Van Loon, H. van Loon
R2,586 Discovery Miles 25 860 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book describes the discovery of the stratosphere itself and of various unexpected phenomena in the stratosphere: e.g., a manned balloon flight in 1901 as high as 11 km; an expedition to Lake Victoria in Africa in 1908 which found inexplicable west winds in the stratosphere above the equator; and the discovery of the ozone layer in the 1930s, the Berlin Phenomenon in 1952, the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation in 1960, the influence of volcanic eruptions in 1970, the ozone hole in 1984, and the influence of the 11-year solar cycle in 1987. The book also describes how these phenomena are connected with each other and how they create variability in the climate system, in addition to man-made changes, such as the decrease in ozone. We use the stratosphere as one example of Nature's complexity and of how often discoveries are ignored because they do not fit prevalent concepts.

Die Stratosphare (German, Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1999): K. Labitzke Die Stratosphare (German, Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1999)
K. Labitzke
R1,365 Discovery Miles 13 650 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In diesem Buch wird einerseits die spannende Entdeckung der Stratosphare selbst und verschiedener unerwarteter Phanomene in der Stratosphare beschrieben: ein bemannter Ballonflug im Jahr 1901 bis in 11 km Hohe; eine Expedition zum Victoriasee im Jahr 1908; die Entdeckung der Ozonschicht um 1930, des "Berliner Phanomens" im Jahr 1952, des Einflusses von Vulkaneruptionen im Jahr 1982, des Ozonlochs im Jahr 1985 und des Einflusses der Sonnenaktivitat im Jahr 1987. Andererseits wird gezeigt, wie diese Erscheinungen miteinander verknupft sind und wie sie anthropogene und naturliche Schwankungen in unserem Klimasystem verursachen. Am Beispiel der Stratosphare soll das Buch zum Verstandnis der Erforschung komplizierter Zusammenhange in der Natur beitragen.
