  • An Introduction to Atmospheric Physics

    • 2 Edición
    • Volumen 25

    • Inglés
    This book is addressed to those who wish to understand the relationship between atmospheric phenomena and the nature of matter as expressed in the principles of physics. The interesting atmospheric phenomena are more than applications of gravitation, of thermodynamics, of hydrodynamics, or of electrodynamics; and mastery of the results of controlled experiment and of the related theory alone does not imply an understanding of atmospheric phenomena. This distinction arises because the extent and the complexity of the atmosphere permit effects and interactions that are entirely negligible in the laboratory or are deliberately excluded from it. the objective of laboratory physics is, by isolating the relevant variables, to reveal the fundamental properties of matter; whereas the objective of atmospheric physics, or of any observational science, is to understand those phenomena that are characteristic of the whole system. For these reasons the exposition of atmospheric physics requires substantial extensions of classical physics. It also requires that understanding be based on a coherent "way of seeing" the ensemble of atmospheric phenomena. Only then is understanding likely to stimulate still more general insights.

    • Hugo B. Fischer + 4 más
    • Inglés
    This book is an outgrowth of research contributions and teaching experiences by all the authors in applying modern fluid mechanics to problems of pollutant transport and mixing in the water environment. It should be suitable for use in first year graduate level courses for engineering and science students, although more material is contained than can reasonably be taught in a one-year course, and most instructors will probably wish to cover only selected potions. The book should also be useful as a reference for practicing hydraulic and environmental engineers, as well as anyone involved in engineering studies for disposal of wastes into the environment. The practicing consulting or design engineer will find a thorough explanation of the fundamental processes, as well as many references to the current technical literature, the student should gain a deep enough understanding of basics to be able to read with understanding the future technical literature evolving in this evolving field.

  • An Introduction to Dynamic Meteorology

    • 2 Edición

    • Anton L. Hales
    • Inglés
    An Introduction to Dynamic Meteorology, Second Edition deals with rapid advances in the science of dynamic meteorology. This book presents dynamic meteorology as a cohesive subject with a central unifying body of theory, namely, the quasi-geostrophic system. Topics range from the basic conservation laws to circulation and vorticity, planetary boundary layer, synoptic scale motions in middle latitudes, atmospheric oscillations, midlatitude synoptic systems, dynamics of the stratosphere, and tropical motions. This volume is comprised of 12 chapters and begins with a discussion on the fundamental fluid dynamics necessary for understanding large-scale atmospheric motions, including expanded treatments of atmospheric thermodynamics and of the planetary boundary layer. The reader is then introduced to the basics of modern dynamical meteorology, including the stratospheric dynamics. The energetics of the lower stratosphere, vertically propagating planetary waves, the quasi-biennial oscillation, and the ozone layer are considered. The final chapter reviews the dynamics of the tropical atmosphere, with emphasis on large-scale motions in the equatorial zone, the origin of equatorial disturbances, and tropical cyclones. A number of additional problems that span a wide range in difficulty are included, and answers to selected problems are provided. Throughout the book, the emphasis is on physical principles rather than mathematical elegance. Some use is made of vector calculus. This book is a valuable resource for meteorologists and those working in the field of atmospheric sciences.

    • Inglés
    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.
