Atmosphere, Ocean and Climate Dynamics: An Introductory Text


Atmosphere, Ocean and Climate Dynamics: An Introductory Text 2nd Edition PDF Download Ebook. John Marshall and R. Alan Plumb show how to reproduce the simple but informative laboratory experiments. This book includes copious problems (with sample answers) to help students learn the material.

Marshall and Plumb have nicely presented the basics of both meteorology and oceanography in this work. The book begins with a discussion of atmospheric characteristics; the final chapter on climate and climatic variability nicely leads into the subject of global warming, and should be read by anyone with an interest in the future of the planet.

For advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in atmospheric, oceanic, and climate science, it is an introductory textbook on the circulations of the atmosphere and ocean and their interaction, with an emphasis on global scales. It will give students a good grasp of what the atmosphere and oceans look like on the large-scale and why they look that way. The role of the oceans in climate and paleoclimate is also discussed.

The combination of observations, theory and accompanying illustrative laboratory experiments sets this text apart by making it accessible to students with no prior training in meteorology or oceanography. Written at a mathematical level that is appealing for undergraduates and beginning graduate students, this book provides a useful educational tool through a combination of observations and laboratory demonstrations which can be viewed over the web.
