Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Planetary atmospheres is a relatively new, interdisciplinary subject that incorporates various areas of the physical and chemical sciences, including geophysics, geophysical fluid dynamics, atmospheric science, astronomy, and astrophysics. Providing a much-needed resource for this cross-disciplinary field, An Introduction to Planetary Atmospheres presents current knowledge on atmospheres and the fundamental mechanisms operating on them. The author treats the topics in a comparative manner among the different solar system bodies—what is known as comparative planetology. Based on an established course, this comprehensive text covers a panorama of solar system bodies and their relevant general properties. It explores the origin and evolution of atmospheres, along with their chemical composition and thermal structure. It also describes cloud formation and properties, mechanisms in thin and upper atmospheres, and meteorology and dynamics. Each chapter focuses on these atmospheric topics in the way classically done for the Earth’s atmosphere and summarizes the most important aspects in the field. The study of planetary atmospheres is fundamental to understanding the origin of the solar system, the formation mechanisms of planets and satellites, and the day-to-day behavior and evolution of Earth’s atmosphere. With many interesting real-world examples, this book offers a unified vision of the chemical and physical processes occurring in planetary atmospheres.

This book was released on 1959 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pair of motion equations for entry into an exponential planetary atmosphere is reduced to a single, ordinary, nonlinear differential equation of second order by disregarding two relatively small terms and by introducing a certain mathematical transformation. The reduced equation includes various terms, certain of which represent the gravity force, the centrifugal acceleration, and the lift force. If these particular terms are disregarded, the differential equation is linear and yields precisely the solution of Allen and Eggers applicable to ballistic entry at relatively steep angles of descent. If all the other terms in the basic equation are disregarded (corresponding to negligible vertical acceleration and negligible vertical component of drag force), the resulting truncated differential equation yields the solution of Sanger for equilibrium flight of glide vehicles with relatively large lift-drag ratios.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second edition of Solar System Astrophysics: Planetary Atmospheres and the Outer Solar System provides a timely update of our knowledge of planetary atmospheres and of the bodies of the outer solar system and their analogs in other planetary systems. This volume begins with an expanded treatment of the physics, chemistry, and meteorology of the atmospheres of the Earth, Venus, and Mars, moving on to their magnetospheres and then to a full discussion of the gas and ice giants and their properties. From here, attention switches to the small bodies of the solar system, beginning with the natural satellites. The comets, meteors, meteorites, and asteroids are discussed in order, and the volume concludes with the origin and evolution of our solar system. Finally, a fully revised section on extrasolar planetary systems puts the development of our system in a wider and increasingly well understood galactic context. All of the material is presented within a framework of historical importance. This book and its sister volume, Solar System Astrophysics: Background Science and the Inner Solar system, are pedagogically well written, providing clearly illustrated explanations, for example, of such topics as the numerical integration of the Adams-Williamson equation, the equations of state in planetary interiors and atmospheres, Maxwell’s equations as applied to planetary ionospheres and magnetospheres, and the physics and chemistry of the Habitable Zone in planetary systems. Together, the volumes form a comprehensive text for any university course that aims to deal with all aspects of solar and extra-solar planetary systems. They will appeal separately to the intellectually curious who would like to know how just how far our knowledge of the solar system has progressed in recent years.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Asymptotic Behavior of Planetary-Scale Motions of the Atmosphere In this paper we derive approximate equations describing adiabatic planetary-scale motions of the atmosphere valid for asymptotically large time from the viewpoint of the original fluid equations. Although this approximation procedure yields an ordered system of linear partial differential equations, the coefficients are variable; and numerical calculations must be carried out in the future in order to verify if the actual physical atmosphere allows such motions to exist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asymptotic equations describing slowly varying planetary-scale motions of the atmosphere over the rotating earth are derived and compared to the geostrophic equations of motion in the tangent plane approximation. Since the same approximation procedure is used in both the spherical and plane geometry, a direct term by term comparison is possible. The plane approximation yields familiar prognostic equations (initial value problem); but in the more constrained spherical geometry, a more restricted forcing-type problem results if the zonal motion is time-dependent. That is, with a given slowly varying or steady zonal motion, is associated a class of long-wave tesseral motions, i.e. coupled low-wave-number and meridional motions. (Author).
Download or read book The Atmosphere and Climate of Mars written by Robert M. Haberle and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-06-29 with total page 613 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humanity has long been fascinated by the planet Mars. Was its climate ever conducive to life? What is the atmosphere like today and why did it change so dramatically over time? Eleven spacecraft have successfully flown to Mars since the Viking mission of the 1970s and early 1980s. These orbiters, landers and rovers have generated vast amounts of data that now span a Martian decade (roughly eighteen years). This new volume brings together the many new ideas about the atmosphere and climate system that have emerged, including the complex interplay of the volatile and dust cycles, the atmosphere-surface interactions that connect them over time, and the diversity of the planet's environment and its complex history. Including tutorials and explanations of complicated ideas, students, researchers and non-specialists alike are able to use this resource to gain a thorough and up-to-date understanding of this most Earth-like of planetary neighbours.
