The most comprehensive advanced graduatelevel textbook on the subjectThis is a graduatelevel textbook on the global circulation of the Earth's atmospherethe largescale system of winds by which energy is transported around the planet, from the tropical latitudes to the poles. Written by David Randall, one of the worlds foremost experts on the subject, it is the most comprehensive textbook on the topic. Intended for Earth science students who have completed some graduatelevel coursework in atmospheric dynamics, the book will help students build on that foundation, preparing them for research in the field.The book describes the many phenomena of the circulation and explains them in terms of current ideas from fluid dynamics and thermodynamics, with frequent use of isentropic coordinates and using the methods of vector calculus. It emphasizes the key roles of water vapor and clouds, includes detailed coverage of energy flows and transformations, and pays close attention to scale interactions. The book also describes the major historical contributions of key scientists, giving a human dimension to the narrative, and it closes with a discussion of how the global circulation is evolving as the Earths climate changes. The most comprehensive graduatelevel textbook on the subject Written by one of the worlds leading experts Connects global circulation and climate phenomena Addresses energy, moisture, and angularmomentum balance; the hydrologic cycle; and atmospheric turbulence and convection Emphasizes the energy cycle of the atmosphere; the role of moist processes; and circulation as an unpredictable, chaotic process Helps prepare students for research An online illustration package is available to professors
