Download or read book Understanding Climatology written by Salvador Poole and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-11 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate refers to the statistical measurement of weather conditions over extended periods of time. The environmental conditions for a given region, such as temperature, pressure, precipitation and humidity are measured. The study of climate and all its diverse aspects is approached from a branch of atmospheric science called climatology. The climate of a region is formed by the five chief components namely, the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, lithosphere and the cryosphere. Other factors determining the climatic condition of a region are its latitude, altitude, terrain and its physical geography. Various climate models, which are based on mathematical formulations of past, present and future climates are proposed for the study of climates. This textbook is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex theories and principles in the field of climatology. It aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of climatology. It will serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of the discipline.
Download or read book Applied Climatology written by John E. Hobbs and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2016-04-19 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applied Climatology: A Study of Atmospheric Resources focuses on the management of the atmosphere as a resource. The book first discusses the atmospheric system, including atmospheric circulation and energy in the system. The text then examines the variable atmosphere. Scale variability, climatic change, air pollution, and hazards and extremes are considered. The book also focuses on weather and human behavior. Human biometeorology and climatic determinism; climate and comfort; weather and society; and climate and health are discussed. The text also describes the impacts of extreme events, including tropical cyclones, local storms, cumulative hazards, and climatic change and world food production. The selection also focuses on the effects of weather on daily human activities, including leisure and recreation, construction industry, retailing, utilities, and agriculture. The text then highlights weather forecasting and management of atmospheric resources. Types and methods of forecasting; accuracy and reliability of forecasts; dissemination and application of weather forecasts; weather and climate modification; and role of meteorologists are discussed. The book is a good source of information for readers interested to study the atmosphere as a resource.

Download or read book Geography of Climate Change written by Richard Aspinall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change is one of the inescapable themes of current times. Climate change confronts society in issues as diverse as domestic and international political debate and negotiation, discussion in the media and public opinion, land management choices and decisions, and concerns about environmental, social and economic priorities now and for the future. Climate change also spans spatial, temporal and organisational scales, and has strong links with nature-society relationships, environmental dynamics, and vulnerability. Understanding the full range of possible consequences of climate change is essential for informed decision making and debate. This book provides a collection of chapters that span environmental, social and economic aspects of climate change. Together the chapters provide a diverse and contrasting series that highlights the need to analyze, review and debate climate change and its possible impacts and consequences from multiple perspectives. The book also is intended to promote discussion and debate of a more integrated, inclusive and open approach to climate change and demonstrates the value of geography in addressing climate change issues. This book was originally published as a special issue of Annals of the Association of American Geographers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, given the well-publicized impacts of events such as El Niño, there is an unequaled public awareness of how climate affects the quality of life and environment. Such awareness has created an increasing demand for accurate climatological information. This information is now available in one convenient, accessible source, the Encyclopedia of World Climatology. This comprehensive volume covers all the main subfields of climatology, supplies information on climates in major continental areas, and explains the intricacies of climatic processes. The level of presentation will meet the needs of specialists, university students, and educated laypersons. A successor to the 1986 Encyclopedia of Climatology, this compendium provides a clear explanation of current knowledge and research directions in modern climatology. This new encyclopedia emphasizes climatological developments that have evolved over the past twenty years. It offers more than 200 informative articles prepared by 150 experts on numerous subjects, ranging from standard areas of study to the latest research studies. The relationship between climatology and both physical and social science is fully explored, as is the significance of climate for our future well-being. The information is organized for speedy access. Entries are conveniently arranged in alphabetical order, thoroughly indexed, and cross-referenced. Every entry contains useful citations to additional source materials. The Editor John E. Oliver is Professor Emeritus at Indiana State University. He holds a B.Sc. from London University, and a MA and Ph.D from Columbia University. He taught at Columbia University and then at Indiana State where he was formerly Chair of the Geography-Geology Department, and Assoc iate Dean, College of Arts and Sciences. He has written many books and journal articles in Climatology, Applied Climatology and Physical Geography.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The scientific study of weather patterns averaged over a period of time is called climatology or climate science. It focuses on recording and analyzing weather patterns of the Earth's atmosphere and understanding the conditions that cause them. It is a branch of the atmospheric sciences and a subfield of physical geography. Climatology also comprises aspects of oceanography and biogeochemistry. It is used for the analysis of observations and modeling the physical laws that determine the climate. It encompasses climate variability, mechanisms of climate change, and modern climate change. This book outlines the principles and applications of climatology in detail. It discusses the fundamentals as well as modern approaches of this field. As climatology is emerging at a rapid pace, the contents of this book will help the readers understand the modern concepts and applications of the subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed for first- and second-year university students (and their instructors) in earth science, environmental science, and physical geography degree programmes worldwide. The summaries at the end of each section constitute essential reading for policy makers and planners. It provides a simple but masterly account, with a minimum of equations, of how the Earth’s climate system works, of the physical processes that have given rise to the long sequence of glacial and interglacial periods of the Quaternary, and that will continue to cause the climate to evolve. Its straightforward and elegant description, with an abundance of well chosen illustrations, focuses on different time scales, and includes the most recent research in climate science by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It shows how it is human behaviour that will determine whether or not the present century is a turning point to a new climate, unprecedented on Earth in the last several million years.
