The Nile on eBay Introduction to Circulating Atmospheres by I.N. James
An account of the modern view of the global circulation of the atmosphere. It brings together the observed nature of the circulation and the theories and simple models of the mechanisms that drive it. The text is illustrated and each chapter includes a set of problems and bibliographical notes.
FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description
This book gives an account of the modern view of the global circulation of the atmosphere. It accounts for the observed nature of the circulation and theories and simple models of the mechanisms that drive it. Early chapters concentrate on the classical view of the global circulation, on the processes that generate atmospheric motions, and on the dynamical constraints that modify them. Later chapters develop more recent themes including low frequency variability and the circulation of other planetary atmospheres. Each chapter includes a set of problems.
Table of Contents
1. The governing physical laws; 2. Observing and modelling the global circulation; 3. The atmospheric heat engine; 4. The zonal mean meridional circulation; 5. Transient disturbances in the mid-latitudes; 6. Wave propagation and the steady eddies; 7. Three dimensional aspects of the global circulation; 8. Low frequency variability of the circulation; 9. The stratosphere; 10. Planetary atmospheres and other fluid systems.
Review
' ... recommended as an excellent successor and supplement to the traditional mathematical treatment of dynamical meteorology.' Weather 'In summary, this fine book is a must for everybody who wants to better understand the tricks of our circulating atmosphere.' Meteorologische Zeitschrift 'an authoritative, modern view of large-scale atmospheric circulations ... eminently readable.' Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society ' ... this is a valuable new textbook in atmospheric dynamics ... it is heartily recommended.' P. Haynes, Journal of Fluid Mechanics
