Beschreibung

Global Physical Climatology, Second Edition, provides an introduction to the science of climate and climate change. Beginning with a basic introduction to the physical climate system, the text then introduces the physics of the climate system, including the atmosphere, ocean, and land surface. . More advanced topics apply the basic knowledge introduced to natural variability of the climate in both the present and past, the sensitivity of climate to external forcing, paleoclimate, a basic description of the science of human-induced climate change, and the tools necessary to predict future climate using physical principles and computer models.

Über den Autor

Professor D.L. Hartmann received his BS degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Portland, and his PhD in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics from Princeton University. After postdoctoral appointments at McGill University and the National Center for Atmospheric Research, he joined the faculty of the University of Washington, where he is currently a professor in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences, and Senior Fellow of the Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean.

Professor Hartmann's research interests include dynamics of the atmosphere, atmosphere-ocean interaction, climate feedback processes and climate change. His primary areas of expertise are atmospheric dynamics, radiation and remote sensing, and mathematical and statistical techniques for data analysis.
