Physics Of The Air (1920) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781164955818)

""Physics of the Air"" is a scientific book written by William Jackson Humphreys and first published in 1920. This book is an in-depth study of the physics of the Earth's atmosphere. It covers a wide range of topics, including the structure and composition of the atmosphere, the dynamics of air movements, atmospheric radiation, and the physical processes that affect weather and climate. The book is divided into four sections. The first section provides an introduction to the study of atmospheric physics, including the history of the field and the basic principles of atmospheric science. The second section focuses on the structure and composition of the atmosphere, including the properties of gases, the behavior of water vapor, and the role of aerosols and other particles. The third section covers the dynamics of air movements, including the principles of atmospheric circulation and the formation of weather systems. The final section discusses atmospheric radiation and its effects on weather and climate, including the greenhouse effect and global warming.Throughout the book, Humphreys uses a combination of mathematical equations, diagrams, and real-world examples to explain complex concepts in a clear and accessible way. ""Physics of the Air"" is an important reference for students and researchers in atmospheric science, as well as anyone interested in understanding the physics behind weather and climate.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
