Beschreibung

Coupled Atmosphere-Ocean Dynamics of Climate Variability and Climate Change presents the patterns, mechanisms, and predictability of climate variability and anthropogenic climate change. Based on a graduate course the author has taught over 25 years, this book provides the physical foundation for those who are interested in fundamental questions such as: why climate varies from one year to another; how predictable climate is; and how climate will change in the face of increasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This is the first comprehensive and systematic treatment of this subject that simultaneously draws on the latest research and is accessible for graduate students. The book takes a step-by-step systematic approach to coupled ocean-atmosphere interactions. This allows a wide range of comparative views: climate modes among and across different tropical ocean basins, ocean feedback on the atmosphere (in and out of the tropics), and spontaneous internal oscillation versus externally forced climate change. Such comparative views offer unprecedented insight into the dynamics of climate variability and predictability. This book can be used as supplementary reading for advanced undergraduate students, as coursework in climate dynamics, modeling, variability, and change, and as a reference book and research monograph for researchers in ocean, atmospheric, climate, and earth system sciences.

Über den Autor

Dr. Xie is the distinguished professor of climate science and Roger Revelle Chair at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California San Diego, USA. He studies ocean-atmosphere interactions, climate variability and change. Dr. Xie is a lead author of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report, an elected fellow of the American Geophysical Union and American Meteorological Society (AMS), and a Highly Cited Researcher (h-index=97) on the Web of Science. He received the AMS Sverdrup Gold Medal for "fundamental contributions to understanding the coupled ocean-atmosphere feedback processes involved in climate variability and climate change.? Scripps is one of the top institutes globally for Oceanography and is a target area for authors/ editors for the Oceanography program. Some of our top performing authors are from Scripps, including Lynne Talley, author of the bestselling Descriptive Physical Oceanography now in its 7th edition.
