TAILIEUCHUNG - Atmospheric Thermodynamics

This book is intended for a semester undergraduate course in atmospheric thermodynamics. Writing it has been in my mind for a while. The main reason for wanting to write a book like this was that, simply, no such text in atmospheric thermodynamics exists. Do not get me wrong here. Excellent books treating the subject do exist and I have been positively influenced and guided by them in writing this one. However, in the past, atmospheric thermodynamics was either treated at graduate level or at undergraduate level in a partial way (using part of a general book in atmospheric physics) or too fully (thus making it difficult to fit it into. | Second Edition An Introduction to Atmospheric Thermodynamics Anastasios This page intentionally left blank An Introduction to Atmospheric Thermodynamics This new edition is a self-contained concise but rigorous book introducing the reader to the basics of the subject. It has been brought completely up to date and reorganized to improve the quality and flow of the material. The introductory chapters provide definitions and useful mathematical and physical notes to help readers understand the basics. The book then describes the topics relevant to atmospheric processes including the properties of moist air and atmospheric stability. It concludes with a brief introduction to the problem of weather forecasting and the relevance of thermodynamics. Each chapter contains worked examples to complement the theory as well as a set of student exercises. Solutions to these are available to instructors on a password protected website at 9780521696289. The author has taught atmospheric thermodynamics at undergraduate level for over 20 years and is a highly respected researcher in his field. This book provides an ideal text for short undergraduate courses taken as part of an atmospheric science meteorology physics or natural science program. Anastasios a. Tsonis is a professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. His main research interests include nonlinear dynamical systems and their application in climate climate variability predictability and nonlinear time series analysis.
