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.
* Written at a mathematical level that is appealing for
undergraduates and
beginning graduate students
* Provides a useful educational tool through a combination of
observations and
laboratory demonstrations which can be viewed over the web
* Contains instructions on how to reproduce the simple but
informative
laboratory experiments
* Includes copious problems (with sample answers) to help students
learn the
material.
The Asian monsoon is one of the most dramatic climatic phenomena on
Earth, with far reaching environmental and societal effects. Almost
two thirds of humanity lives within regions influenced by the
monsoon. With the emerging Asian economies, the importance of the
region to the global economy has never been more marked. The Asian
Monsoon describes the evolution of the monsoon, and proposes a
connection between the tectonic evolution of the solid Earth and
monsoon intensity. The authors explain how the monsoon has been
linked to orbital processes and thus to other parts of the global
climate system, especially glaciation. Finally, they summarize how
monsoon evolution since the last Ice Age has impacted human
societies, as well as commenting on the potential impact of future
climate change. This book presents a multi-disciplinary overview of
the monsoon for advanced students and researchers in atmospheric
science, climatology, oceanography, geophysics, and geomorphology.
