Overview
Meteorology at the Millennium details recent advances in meteorology and explores its interfaces with science, technology, and society. Ways in which modern meteorology is contributing to the developments in other sciences are described, as well as how atmospheric scientists are learning from colleagues in related disciplines.Meteorology at the Millennium will serve as a point of reference for students and researchers of meteorology and climatology for many years to come.
The areas covered include weather prediction at the millennium, climate variability and change, atmosphere-ocean coupling, the biogeochemical system, weather on other planets.
This book is a compilation of the best invited papers presented at a conference celebrating the 150 years of the Royal Meteorological Society (RMS).
Audience: Graduate and research climatologists, meteorologists, atmospheric scientists, academic libraries.
Editorials
From The Critics
Two dozen papers from a July 2000 conference held at Cambridge to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Royal Meteorological Society report on weather prediction at the millennium, climate variability and change, the atmosphere and oceans, the biogeochemical system, the solar system, and palaeoclimate. Among specific topics are a historical perspective on extratropical cyclones, predicting and detecting anthropogenic climate change, the monsoon as a self- regulating coupled ocean-atmosphere system, biochemical connections between the atmosphere and the ocean, and atmospheric dynamics of the outer planets. Color illustrations appear here and there throughout. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
