This book is an introduction to the concepts behind the popular
understanding of climate and global warming. The author provides
readers with a survey and reference to the subject to be used
before, during and after they delve into the details of statistics,
dynamics and thermodynamics.
Dynamic Climatology reviews the basic concepts in the study
of dynamic climatology, their expression in the form of equations
and the physics of models used to reproduce the weather phenomena
of a specific location. It takes a historical approach
concentrating on the development of ideas during the last four
hundred years. Unlike most books in this field, which are devoted
to a single aspect of dynamic climatology, the intent of this
volume is to present a coherent narrative of the different
components of climate thus providing a solid basis of
understanding.
