Changing flow of energy through the climate system

Publication details: Cambridge University Press, 2022. Cambridge:Description: xvi, 319p.; col. ill; pbk; 25cmISBN:

DDC classification:

551.6 TRE

Summary: Kevin E. Trenberth emphasizes the fundamental role of energy flows in the climate system and anthropogenic climate change. The distribution of heat, or more generally, energy, is the main determinant of weather patterns in the atmosphere and their impacts. The topics addressed cover many facets of climate and the climate crisis. These include the diurnal cycle; the seasons; energy differences between the continents and the oceans, the poles and the tropics; interannual variability such as Niño; natural decadal variability; and ice ages. Human-induced climate change rides on and interacts with all of these natural phenomena, and the result is an unevenly warming planet and changing weather extremes. The book emphasizes the need to not only slow or stop climate change, but also to better prepare for it and build resilience. Students, researchers, and professionals from a wide range of backgrounds will benefit from this deeper understanding of climate change. https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/abs/changing-flow-of-energy-through-the-climate-system/changing-flow-of-energy-through-the-climate-system/43782D9BC67E24E68AC3BF65ABFBC839
