Summary

Introduces the fundamental physical principles and problems of climate sensitivity and change. This work covers the physics of climate change, and examines the nature of climate and its changes over the years. It also explores the sensitivity of climate and the mechanisms by which humans are likely to produce near-future climate changes.

Global Physical Climatology Summary

Global Physical Climatology: Volume 56 by Dennis L. Hartmann (Department of Atmospheric Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA)

Global Physical Climatology is an introductory text devoted to the fundamental physical principles and problems of climate sensitivity and change. Addressing some of the most critical issues in climatology, this text features incisive coverage of topics that are central to understanding orbital parameter theory for past climate changes, and for anthropogenic and natural causes of near-future changes--

Global Physical Climatology Reviews

"Few textbooks presently give such a comprehensive and clear account of the complexities of the climate system. Throughout, the book is very readable and I recommend it thoroughly." --Grant Bigg in Weather "...contains useful information on all aspects of physical climatology from boundary layer processes to global models. It has a good index which allows ready access to specific subjects...will be useful to students wanting more than a descriptive approach to climatology." --GEOGRAPHICS

About Dennis L. Hartmann (Department of Atmospheric Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA)

Professor D.L. Hartmann received his BS degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Portland, and his PhD in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics from Princeton University. After postdoctoral appointments at McGill University and the National Center for Atmospheric Research, he joined the faculty of the University of Washington, where he is currently a professor in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences, and Senior Fellow of the Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean.Professor Hartmanns research interests include dynamics of the atmosphere, atmosphere-ocean interaction, climate feedback processes and climate change. His primary areas of expertise are atmospheric dynamics, radiation and remote sensing, and mathematical and statistical techniques for data analysis.
