Fundamentals of Physics and Chemistry of the Atmosphere
594 pages, parution le 01/07/2001
Résumé
This book is intended mainly as an introductory course to
the physics and chemistry of the atmosphere and to climate
dynamics. The basics in thermodynamics, fluid dynamics,
radiation and chemistry are given and aimed at explaining
the most interesting problems existing in the study of the
atmospheres of the Earth and planets. The originality of
the book is that it even offers the computer programs to
solve these problems. A particular effort is made to
approach the different topics intuitively. Among the themes
covered is the most recent evolution concerning the ozone
hole, the carbon dioxide problem and the chaos theory. The
CD-ROM containing solutions with computer models is
attached to the book. This CD includes few program listings
(in FORTRAN) and the instructions to run them in order to
solve a number of problems. There are also two energy
balance climate models, programs for the dynamics and a
simulation for the ice ages based on the stochastic
resonance theory.
