A valuable weather data resource for engineers and project managers, Michael Kjelgaard's Engineering Weather Data is loaded with data you'll find essential for designing buildings and HVAC systems in cities with different climates. You get table after table of important weather statistics, organized by city for easy look-up, including tables of weather data for cities throughout the US -- plus 355 cities in Canada and Mexico, and 100 cities throughout the rest of the world. Material is derived mostly from the National Weather Service (NWS), the National Renewable...

Wondering about weather? Learn Mother Nature's secrets

Meteorology Demystified presents a complete explanation of essential physical and scientific concepts before delving into a more detailed look at various weather phenomena.

The book outlines basic laws and concepts, before using qualitative descriptions to introduce more...

Many scientists either working on the El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) problem or its many applications have not been trained in both the equatorial ocean and atmospheric dynamics necessary to understand it. This book seeks to overcome this difficulty by providing a step by step introduction to ENSO, helping the upper level graduate student or research scientist to learn quickly the ENSO basics and be up to date with the latest ENSO research. The text assumes that the reader has a knowledge of the equations of fluid mechanics on a rotating earth and emphasizes the observations and...

Chemistry and Physics of Stratospheric Ozone will provide an in-depth account of chemical and physical properties of stratospheric ozone, which will be valuable to a wide audience.

The research of the last decade has produced as many arguments as answers, and the author provides a good account of both the accepted and provocative resolutions.

• Focuses on the important aspects of stratospheric ozone that are needed to understand most of the literature
• Provides extensive discussion of the natural and human-induced changes to the "ozone...

Fundamentals of Atmospheric Physics emphasizes the interrelationships of physical and dynamical meteorology. The text unifies four major subject areas: atmospheric thermodynamics, hydrostatic equilibrium and stability, atmospheric radiation and clouds, and atmospheric dynamics. These fundamental areas serve as cornerstones of modern atmospheric research on environmental issues like global change and ozone depletion. Physical concepts underlying these subject areas are developed from first principles, providing a self-contained text for students and scholars from diverse...

The book discusses the ideas and creates a framework for building toward a theory of paleoclimate. Using the rich and mounting array of observational evidence of climatic changes from geology, geochemistry, and paleontology, Saltzman offers a dynamical approach to the theory of paleoclimate evolution and an expanded theory of climate.

Saltzman was a distinquished authority on dynamical meteorology. This book provides a comprehensive framework based on dynamical system ideas for a theory of climate and paleoclimatic evolution which is intended for graduate students and research...

Pao Wang's lucid writing style will appeal to atmospheric scientists, climatologists, and...
