Microwave Radiation of the Ocean-Atmosphere
Boundary Heat and Dynamic Interaction
Language: English
Release Date: December 3, 2009
We will show in this monograph some possibilities of using the potential of satellite passive microwave radiometric methods for the analysis of variations of heat and dynamic processes in the ocean–atmosphere interface in a wide range of time scales – from mesometeorogical (hours, daily) to seasonal...
What Really Causes Global Warming?
Greenhouse Gases or Ozone Depletion?
Language: English
Release Date: December 1, 2015
Science Is Never “Settled” Thousands of scientists are convinced beyond any reasonable doubt that recent global warming is being caused by emissions of greenhouse gases and that we must act immediately to reduce these emissions or else we may render Earth unlivable for our children and our grandchildren....
Parameterization of Atmospheric Convection
(In 2 Volumes)Volume 1: Theoretical Background and FormulationVolume 2: Current Issues and New Theories
Language: English
Release Date: August 21, 2015
Precipitating atmospheric convection is fundamental to the Earth's weather and climate. It plays a leading role in the heat, moisture and momentum budgets. Appropriate modelling of convection is thus a prerequisite for reliable numerical weather prediction and climate modelling. The current standard...
