Atmospheric Processes and Systems: Routledge Introductions to Environment: Environmental Science
Autor Russell D. Thompsonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 aug 1998
* the composition and structure of the atmosphere
* energy transfers
* the cycle of atmospheric water in terms of evaporation, condensation and precipitation
* pressure and winds at the primary or global scale
* secondary air masses and fronts
* thermal differences and weather disturbances.
The text includes sixteen boxed case studies, annotated further reading lists and a glossary of key terms.
