Integrating the available data and computational resources to improve our understanding of the global circulation of the atmosphere remains a challenge. Theory must play a critical role in meeting this challenge. This book provides an authoritative summary of the state of the art on this front. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBringing together sixteen of the field's leading experts to address those aspects of the global circulation of the atmosphere most relevant to climate, the book brings the reader up to date on the key frontiers in general circulation theory-including the nonlinear and turbulent global-scale dynamics that determine fundamental aspects of the Earth's climate. While emphasizing theory, as expressed through relatively simple mathematical models, it also draws connections to simulations with comprehensive general circulation models. Topics include the dynamics of storm tracks, interactions between wave dynamics and the hydrological cycle, monsoons, tropical and extratropical dynamics and interactions, and the processes controlling atmospheric humidity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn essential resource for graduate students in atmospheric, ocean, and climate sciences and for researchers seeking an overview of the field, \u003ci\u003eThe Global Circulation of the Atmosphere\u003c\/i\u003e sets the standard for future research in a science that stands at a critical juncture. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith a foreword by Edward Lorenz, the book includes chapters by Christopher Bretherton; Kerry Emanuel; Isaac Held; David Neelin; Raymond Pierrehumbert, H駘鈩e Brogniez, and R駑y Roca; Alan Plumb; Walter Robinson; Tapio Schneider; Richard Seager and David Battisti; Adam Sobel; Kyle Swanson; and Pablo Zurita-Gotor and Richard Lindzen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tapio Schneider\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691242399\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691242392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/13\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 6.90w x 1.00d","brand":"Tapio Schneider","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059489796351,"sku":"9780691242392","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_399e2b85-1905-42ab-8eb0-f375111146c5.jpg?v=1685058537","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-global-circulation-of-the-tapio-schneider-9780691242392","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
