Drawing from a wealth of new data, leading atmospheric scientist Chenghai Wang illustrates how cold-region weather systems can be parameterized to improve seasonal climate prediction and provide crucial insights into projected changes in climate over the next 50-100 years. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book opens with an introduction to the characteristics and classification of cold-region climatology, followed by a detailed description of the primary weather systems and land surface processes in cold regions. The core of the book presents a new approach for seasonal climate prediction using signals obtained from cryospheric processes, supported by a discussion of climate disasters and the impact of climate change on the ecology of cold regions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduces a new way of modeling climate in cold regions \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Offers novel approaches for assessing climate signals from cold regions in seasonal and sub-seasonal predictions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Presents new data on the role of cold-region climatology in forecasting and driving global temperature changes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Discusses the role of cold regions as the main source of global freshwater supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eA significant contribution to climate research and beyond, \u003ci\u003eClimatology in Cold Regions \u003c\/i\u003eis essential reading for students, scientists, and researchers in the atmospheric sciences, meteorology, ecology, hydrology, and Earth sciences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chenghai Wang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1119702658\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781119702658\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wiley-Blackwell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/07\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.69d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chenghai Wang","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44130048835839,"sku":"9781119702658","price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0556f54a-1f90-4813-b33e-5bbe4ab6d73e.jpg?v=1687467274","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/climatology-in-cold-regions-chenghai-wang-9781119702658","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
