Overview

With the increasing interest in climate change, there is an ever-growing importance in atmospheric physics and an understanding of how the atmosphere functions and interacts with oceans, ice and the biosphere. This self-contained text, written for graduate students in physics or meteorology, assumes no prior knowledge apart from basic mechanics and calculus and delivers material for a complete course. Augmented with worked examples, the text considers all aspects of atmospheric physics excluding dynamics, and covers topics such as thermodynamics, cloud microphysics, remote sensing and atmospheric radiation, and will be an invaluable resource for students and researchers.
