Publisher: Princeton University Press ISBN: 9780691231006 Cover: HARDCOVER Date: 2025年02月 DESCRIPTION Climate Dynamics provides an essential foundation in the physical understanding of Earth’s climate system. Assuming no previous introduction to the climate system, the book is designed for all science, math, and engineering students at the advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate levels. This second edition includes updated and expanded information on hydrology, the cryosphere, observed contemporary climate change, and climate prediction. In addition, the illustrations are expanded and now in full color. The first section of the book provides a description of the climate system based on current observations of the mean climate state and its variability. The second section develops a quantitative understanding of the processes that determine the climate state-radiation, heat balances, and the basics of fluid dynamics applied to the atmosphere, oceans, and cryosphere. The third and final section focuses on observed contemporary climate change and prediction. * Presents a physically based, quantitative understanding of the climate system and climate change * Emphasizes fundamental observations and understanding * Features end-of-chapter exercises and full-color illustrations * An online illustration package and solutions manual for professors is available TABLE OF CONTENTS Part I: Earth’s Climate System CHAPTER 1 An Introduction to the Climate System CHAPTER 2 The Observed Climatology: An Atlas CHAPTER 3 Natural Climate Variability Part II: Climate System Processes CHAPTER 4 Radiative Processes in the Climate System CHAPTER 5 Thermodynamics and the Flow of Heat through the Climate System CHAPTER 6 Dynamics: The Forces That Drive Atmospheric and Ocean Circulations CHAPTER 7 Atmospheric Circulations CHAPTER 8 Ocean Circulation Systems CHAPTER 9 The Hydrologic Cycle CHAPTER 10 Cryospheric Processes Part III: Contemporary Climate Change CHAPTER 11 Radiative Forcing of Climate Change CHAPTER 12 Climate Sensitivity and Feedbacks CHAPTER 13 Earth’s Changing Climate CHAPTER 14 Climate Change Prediction Appendix A Units, Constants, and Conversions Appendix B Coordinate Systems Appendix C Lagrangian and Eulerian Derivatives
