DESCRIPTION:
It has a good index which allows ready access to specific subjectswill be useful to students wanting more than a descriptive approach to climatology."--GEOGRAPHICS . Throughout, the book is very readable and I recommend it thoroughly."--Grant Bigg in Weather"contains useful information on all aspects of physical climatology from boundary layer processes to global models. "Few textbooks presently give such a comprehensive and clear account of the complexities of the climate system
Real Climatologists should not be without this masterpiece. Nick This is the bible for Global Physical Climatology. Anyone who wants to brush up on the mathematics of Climatology before entering graduate school or taking an upper level course in the subject is advised to purchase and study this book with salubrious tenacity.. Hooray for Hartmann! Simply put, this is the only assigned text I kept from my college years. It's compact size and overall readability are excellent. Although intended for advanced undergrads and beginning graduate students, it's still a great reference for multi-disciplinary scientists, basic global circulation modellers, researchers, and professors. The appendices are particularly noteworhty, especially the list of English. The standard of comparison for global systems science. This is the most thorough, most rigorous, well-written textbook in global systems climatology that I've seen. If you're bright, interested, and aren't allergic to equations (you don't need to read them to understand the book, you just have to not freak out) then this text will teach you more about the planet as a dynamic system than any other that I've seen -- plus, unlike most texbooks, it's not chuck fu
His primary areas of expertise are atmospheric dynamics, radiation and remote sensing, and mathematical and statistical techniques for data analysis. . Professor D.L. Hartmann received his BS degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Portland, and his PhD in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics from Princeto
Addressing some of the most critical issues in climatology, this text features incisive coverage of topics that are central to understanding orbital parameter theory for past climate changes, and for anthropogenic and natural causes of near-future changes-- Key Features* Covers the physics of climate change* Examines the nature of the current climate and its previous changes* Explores the sensitivity of climate and the mechanisms by which humans are likely to produce near-future climate changes* Provides instructive end-of-chapter exercises and appendices. Global Physical Climatology is an introductory text devoted to the fundamental physical principles and problems of climate se
