  • Mesoscale-Convective Processes in the Atmosphere

    by Robert J. Trapp ...
    This new textbook seeks to promote a deep yet accessible understanding of mesoscale-convective processes in the atmosphere. Mesoscale-convective processes are commonly manifested in the form of thunderstorms, which are fast evolving, inherently hazardous, and can assume a broad range of sizes and severity. Modern explanations of the convective-storm dynamics, and of the related development of ... Read more

  • Climate Change Modeling Methodology

    Selected Entries from the Encyclopedia of Sustainability Science and Technology

    Edited by Philip J. Rasch ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The Earth's average temperature has risen by 1.4°F over the past century, and computer models project that it will rise much more over the next hundred years, with significant impacts on weather, climate, and human society. Many climate scientists attribute these increases to the build up of greenhouse gases produced by the burning of fossil fuels and to the anthropogenic production of short-lived ... Read more

  • Microphysics of Clouds and Precipitation

    Reprinted 1980

    by J.D. Klett, H.R. Pruppacher ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Cloud physics has achieved such a voluminous literature over the past few decades that a significant quantitative study of the entire field would prove unwieldy. This book concentrates on one major aspect: cloud microphysics, which involves the processes that lead to the formation of individual cloud and precipitation particles. Common practice has shown that one may distinguish among the ... Read more
