※上記表示の販売価格は割引適用後の価格です 出版済み 3-5週間でお届けいたします。 気候変動の科学 Author: Box, Michael A. / Box, Gail P. Publisher: Cambridge University Press ISBN: 9781009372336 Cover: PAPERBACK Date: 2024年05月 DESCRIPTION 気候と気候変動の仕組みの理解を支える科学的知識について、包括的に取り上げる説得力のある一冊。代数学と物理科学の基本的な理解のみが求められるため、学部生にとって分かりやすいテキストです。基礎からスタートして、IPCC第6次評価報告書の最新の結果まで取り上げます。 This compelling textbook provides a broad overview of the science underpinning our understanding of our climate, and how it is changing. Presented in clear and accessible language, and requiring only minimal algebra, it enables students to understand how our planet “behaves” under “normal conditions” and how human activity has moved us away from that normal. It walks the student comprehensively through the basic science, including how greenhouse gases absorb radiation and, crucially, a chapter on aerosols, major players in climate change. Diverse case studies and examples illuminate the impact and connections to real world events while review questions and exercises consolidate knowledge. Including the latest results from the IPCC 6th Assessment Report, it concludes by exploring climate modelling, equipping students with an understanding of how to simulate both past climate changes and projections of future climate change. Online resources include lecture slides, solutions and Excel code. * Eloquent and engrossing writing style, clearly presenting and explaining the many aspects of science involved in climate change * Accessible to second and third year undergraduate students with a basic understanding of algebra and a basic (high school) background in physical science * Includes a full chapter on aerosols, which play an important role in climate change and directly affect air quality * Diverse and international case studies and examples enable students to see how the science 'plays out' in the word around them (thereby ensuring that the science does not feel abstract) * Comprehensive focus on the current science, including all the latest results from IPCC 6th Assessment Report. * Balance between quantitative and qualitative approaches * The code for the Energy Balance Climate Model discussed in the text is provided as an online resource TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.
