Physics of Climate 1st Edition by Jose P. Peixoto (PDF)

Description

“A superb reference.” Physics Today “Will become a classic text in climate research. ” Physics World “Valuable to anyone who studies, models, or uses the climate of the earth.” Walter Robinson, Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society “Informative and authoritative on a remarkably wide range of topics.” Nature Are we entering a period of global warming? Is weather predictable? Physics of Climate offers you an in-depth description of atmospheric circulation and how environmental phenomena worldwide interact in a single, unified system. This integrated approach unites all the key features of the climate system–oceans, atmosphere, and cryosphere–to explain the structure and behavior of climate over time. Ideal for students and professionals in meteorology, oceanography, geophysics, and physics.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Good for those interested in the general circulation of the atmosphere and climate. Despite the fact it’s 20 years old the information is still relevant.

⭐very good book, a little bit old about new findings of climate change but as fundamentals book is good

⭐I’m student of meteorology and here in Brazil I didn’t find this title, much less the edition. It was a good buy.

⭐This is probably the most useful book in my library. This is not a book of people’s theories about the climate, but an organized presentation of actual observations of the climate itself. The book is easy to read and well written. It is written more like a journal article than a textbook with tons of figures based on data, valuable tables, and references to the scientific literature. The book focuses on what is observed: the mean states of the atmosphere, ocean, and cryosphere; and on what can be calculated from observations: budgets of angular momentum, water, and energy. The book discusses the relevant physical processes of radiation and surface/atmosphere exchange. You need this book if you are a working scientist with questions like: What is the observed energy balance? How is water stored in various reservoirs in the climate system and what are the rates of exchange? How much momentum is transported by stationary versus transient eddies? How is temperature or the circulation distributed horizontally and vertically in the atmosphere and ocean, and how does it vary seasonally? If you are interested in climate models, cloud physics, climate change, or paleoclimatology, then this is not the right book for you.

⭐A milestone for who is interested in climate sciences. Well written, exhaustive and easy to read . For undergraduate and postgraduate.

⭐Ya conocía el libro y había tenido ocasión de leer parte de él. Como lo considero uno de los mejores libros sobre Física del Clima simplemente quería tenerlo en propiedad y por eso lo he adquirido.
