Climatic Change at High Elevation Sites
ISBN: 9780792346784 / Angielski / Twarda / 298 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This book provides a unique, in-depth view of past, present and potential future climatic change in mountain regions, and in particular on the mechanisms which are responsible for this change. Other books which focus on environmental change in mountains focus more generally on the impacts of this change on mountain systems, rather than on the regional features of climatic change itself. The book enters into a high level of detail concerning results of international investigations which involve specialists from numerous climate-related disciplines. The book can be used in an academic and...

Averaging of Meteorological Fields
ISBN: 9780792348016 / Angielski / Twarda / 281 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Spatial and temporal averaging of observational data is widely used in many problems of meteorology, hydrology and related sciences. Several averaging methods have been proposed by various scientists and are used on a regular basis to obtain data averaged in space orfand in time, to yield data which are less influenced by random factors than initial point data are. The significance of averaging meteorological fields has substantially increased nowadays in connection with the problem of global climate change. However important as such change may be, it is very small as compared with the...

Atmospheric Measurements During Popcorn -- Characterisation of the Photochemistry Over a Rural Area
ISBN: 9780792355311 / Angielski / Twarda / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Present policy issues concern the reduction of ozone levels by controlling its precursors, NOx and volatile organic compounds (VOC). VOC are emitted from anthropogenic and biogenic sources. Whereas our understanding of VOC emissions from anthropogenic sources has advanced significantly in recent years, there is still a lack of knowledge concerning the contribution of biogenic VOC to the budget of organic trace gases and their impact on the formation of ozone in the troposphere. Improving ozone reduction strategies in the future requires a detailed understanding of the...

Climatic Variability in Sixteenth-Century Europe and Its Social Dimension
ISBN: 9780792359340 / Angielski / Twarda / 354 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) A multidecadal cooling is known to have occurred in Europe in the final decades of the sixteenth-century. It is still open to debate as to what might have caused the underlying shifts in atmospheric circulation and how these changes affected societies. This book is the fruit of interdisciplinary cooperation among 37 scientists including climatologists, hydrologists, glaciologists, dendroclimatologists, and economic and cultural historians. The known documentary climatic evidence from six European countries is compared to results of tree-ring studies. Seasonal temperature and precipitation are...

Air-Sea Exchange: Physics, Chemistry and Dynamics
ISBN: 9780792359371 / Angielski / Twarda / 578 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) During the 1980's a wealth of information was reported from field and laboratory experiments in order to validate andlor modify various aspects of the surface layer Monin-Obukhov (M-O) similarity theory for use over the sea, and to introduce and test new concepts related to high resolution flux magnitudes and variabilities. For example, data from various field experiments conducted on the North Sea, Lake Ontario, and the Atlantic experiments, among others, yielded information on the dependence of the flux coefficients on wave state. In all field projects, the usual criteria for satisfying M-O...

Climate Change: An Integrated Perspective
ISBN: 9780792359968 / Angielski / Twarda / 414 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Global climate change - rapid, substantial and human induced - may have radical consequences for life on earth. The problem is a complex one, however, demanding a multi-disciplinary approach. A simple cost-benefit analysis cannot capture the essentials, nor can the issue be reduced to an emissions reduction game, as the Kyoto process tries to do. It is much more sensible to adopt an integrative approach, which reveals that global climate change needs to be considered as a spider in a web, a triggering factor for a range of other, related problems - land use changes, water supply and demand,...

Climate Change in the South Pacific: Impacts and Responses in Australia, New Zealand, and Small Island States
ISBN: 9780792360773 / Angielski / Twarda / 388 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) ALEXANDER GILLESPIE & WILLIAM C.G. BURNS The idea for this book grew out of the Ecopolitics conference in Canberra, Australia in 1996. The conference captured the ferment of the climate change debate in the South Pacific, as well as some its potential implications for the region's inhabitants and e- systems. At that conference, one of the editors (Gillespie) delivered a paper on climate change issues in the region, as did Ros Taplin and Mark Diesendorf, who are also c- tributors to this volume. This book focuses on climate change issues in Australia, New Zealand, and the small island nations...

Structure and Agent in the Scientific Diplomacy of Climate Change: An Empirical Case Study of Science-Policy Interaction in the Intergovernmental Pane
ISBN: 9780792366379 / Angielski / Twarda / 255 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Research input constitutes a key component in the development of international environmental regime formation. Science-policy interaction is, however, complex and difficult, particularly because it is an encounter between two distinct systems of behaviour: the scientific ideal of impartiality and disinterestedness and the political reality of interest realisation and strategic behaviour. This study analyses the extent to which and how the institutional framework within which the science-policy dialogue takes place - through conscious design - can be utilised as an instrument...

Spectroscopy from Space
ISBN: 9780792369936 / Angielski / Miękka / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Many satellites have recently been launched or are in preparation, which operate in the microwave to IR ranges, the main objective being to observe the earth's atmosphere or interstellar clouds. Analysis of the data they supply requires extensive laboratory work because we still only have sufficiently accurate data (line positions, intensities, and profiles) for only a few species. Furthermore, the observer community is making increasing calls for laboratory data, as new development open up new observational possibilities (such as submillimeter observation). Research on these subjects...

With Speed and Violence: Why Scientists Fear Tipping Points in Climate Change
ISBN: 9780807085776 / Angielski / Miękka / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Nature is fragile, environmentalists often tell us. But the lesson of this book is that it is not so. The truth is far more worrying. Nature is strong and packs a serious counterpunch . . . Global warming will very probably unleash unstoppable planetary forces. And they will not be gradual. The history of our planet's climate shows that it does not do gradual change. Under pressure, whether from sunspots or orbital wobbles or the depredations of humans, it lurches-virtually overnight. --from the Introduction Fred Pearce has been writing about climate change for eighteen years, and...

Climate ChangeImpact on Coastal Habitation
ISBN: 9780873713016 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Temperature and precipitation increase and decrease because of natural causes. However, anthropogenic changes, such as an enhanced greenhouse effect, may result in alterations in the regional climate and in relative sea level. Serious changes in climate and sea level-with adverse effects particularly along low-lying coasts-would affect millions of people. Climate Change takes an in-depth, worldwide look at coastal habitation with respect to these natural and anthropogenic changes.
No universally applicable coastal model can be used to describe climatic changes. This unique book provides... Temperature and precipitation increase and decrease because of natural causes. However, anthropogenic changes, such as an enhanced greenhouse effect, ...
