Buku ini menjelaskan mengenai apa yang akan diperlukan dan mengapa saya pikir kita bisa melakukannyaUntuk menyetop pemanasan dan menghindari efek terburuk perubahan iklim, manusia perlu berhenti menambah gas rumah kaca ke atmosfer. Kedengarannya sukar, karena memang akan sukar. Dunia belum pernah melakukan apa pun yang sebesar itu. Tiap negara akan harus mengubah cara beroperasinya. Hampir semu…
Tropical Climatology aims to privide a geographical viewpoint on the physical process in the tropical atmosphere; to offer explanation of how a location's climatei is a product of these process and to highlight the implications of tropical atmospheric behaviour and climatechange for those living in the tropics. This is the second edition of the book and reflects the substansial development in t…
This textbook presents all aspects of climate system dynamics, on all timescales from the Earth's formation to modern human-induced climate change. It discusses the dominant feedbacks and interactions between all the components of the climate system: atmosphere, ocean, land surface, and ice sheets. It addresses one of the key challenges for a course on the climate system: students can come from…
Anyone who merely turns the pages of this new edition will find that 48 percent of the fig? ures are familiar to him from the third edition. But whoever reads it will discover that no three consecutive pages of text have been transferred unaltered. The enormous development that has taken place since 1950, particularly the surprising extension in the practical applica? tions of micrometeorology,…
The book represents all the knowledge we currently have on ocean circulation. It presents an up-to-date summary of the state of the science relating to the role of the oceans in the physical climate system. The book is structured to guide the reader through the wide range of world ocean circulation experiment (WOCE) science in a consistent way. Cross-references between contributors have been…
The authors outline two possible scenarios for our planet. In one, they describe what life on Earth will be like by 2050 if we fail to meet the Paris Agreement’s climate targets. In the other, they lay out what it will be like to live in a regenerative world that has net-zero emissions. They argue for confronting the climate crisis head-on, with determination and optimism. The Future We Choos…
A three-tier approach is presented: (i) fundamental dynamical concepts of climate processes, (ii) their mathematical formulation based on balance equations, and (iii) the necessary numerical techniques to solve these equations. This book showcases the global energy balance of the climate system and feedback processes that determine the climate sensitivity, initial-boundary value problems, energ…
The oceans are an integral and important part of the climate system. The oceans and climate introduces the multi - disciplinary controls on air - sea interaction - physical, chemical and biological - and showa how these interact. It demonstrates how the ocean contribues to, and is affected by, climate processes on timescales from seasonal to millenial and longer. Past, presente and future relat…
The content of An Introduction to Clouds provides a fundamental understanding of clouds, ranging from cloud microphysics to the large-scale impacts of clouds on climate. On the microscale, phase changes and ice nucleation are covered comprehensively, including aerosol particles and thermodynamics relevant for the formation of clouds and precipitation. At larger scales, cloud dynamics, mid-latit…
