<p>One of the major findings in the 1992 IPCC report and the 1994 World Meteorological Organization's Ozone Assessment report was the identification of possible climatic effects over the last few decades resulting from anthropogenic ally-induced changes in atmospheric ozone. The initial quantitative
Colorado State University, US, E-edition by D.Randall, 2005, 522 pp.<br/>This is an introductory course on the general circulation of the atmosphere, a subject that is closely tied to atmospheric dynamics. A course on dynamics tends to focus on basic physical concepts and methods for their analysis,
This book describes the methods used to construct general circulation models (GCMs) of the atmosphere, and how such models perform in applications relating to the real climate and environmental systems. Part 1 summarizes the physical processes involved; Part 2 covers atmospheric structures; Part 3 o
