Lectures in Meteorology

Penilaian

Lectures in Meteorology is a comprehensive reference book for meteorologists and environmental scientists to look up material on the thermodynamics, dynamics and chemistry of the troposphere. The lectures demonstrate how to derive/develop equations – an essential tool for model development. All chapters present applications of the material including numerical models. The lectures are written in modular form, i.e. they can be used at the undergraduate level for classes covered by the chapters or at the graduate level as a comprehensive, intensive course. The student/instructor can address chapters 2 (thermodynamics) and 4 (radiation) in any order. They can also switch the order of chapter 5 (chemistry) and 6 (dynamics). Chapter 7 (climatology and climate) requires an understanding of all chapters. Chapter 3 (cloud physics) needs basics from chapter 2 to understand the cloud microphysical processes. The governing conservation equations for trace constituents, dry air, water substances, total mass, energy, entropy and momentum are presented, including simplifications and their application in models. A brief introduction to atmospheric boundary layer processes is presented as well. Basic principles of climatology discussed include analysis methods, atmospheric waves and their analytical solutions, tropical and extra-tropical cyclones, classical and non-classical mesoscale circulations, and the global circulation. The atmospheric chemistry section encompasses photolytic and gas-phase processes, aqueous chemistry, aerosol processes, fundamentals of biogeochemical cycles and the ozone layer. Solar and terrestrial radiation; major absorber; radiation balance; radiative equilibrium; radiative-convective equilibrium; and basics of molecular, aerosol and cloud adsorption and scattering and their use in remote sensing are also presented.

Specific Detail Info

Kuliah di Meteorologi adalah buku referensi yang komprehensif untuk ahli meteorologi dan ilmuwan lingkungan untuk mencari materi tentang termodinamika, dinamika dan kimia troposfer. Kuliah mendemonstrasikan cara menurunkan/mengembangkan persamaan – alat penting untuk pengembangan model. Semua bab menyajikan aplikasi materi termasuk model numerik. Kuliah ditulis dalam bentuk modular, yaitu dapat digunakan di tingkat sarjana untuk kelas yang dicakup oleh bab atau di tingkat pascasarjana sebagai kursus intensif dan komprehensif. Siswa/instruktur dapat membahas bab 2 (termodinamika) dan 4 (radiasi) dalam urutan apa pun. Mereka juga dapat mengganti urutan bab 5 (kimia) dan 6 (dinamika). Bab 7 (klimatologi dan iklim) membutuhkan pemahaman semua bab. Bab 3 (fisika awan) membutuhkan dasar-dasar dari bab 2 untuk memahami proses mikrofisika awan. Persamaan konservasi yang mengatur untuk konstituen jejak, udara kering, zat air, massa total, energi, entropi dan momentum disajikan, termasuk penyederhanaan dan penerapannya dalam model. Pengantar singkat untuk proses lapisan batas atmosfer juga disajikan. Prinsip-prinsip dasar klimatologi yang dibahas meliputi metode analisis, gelombang atmosfer dan solusi analitisnya, siklon tropis dan ekstra-tropis, sirkulasi mesoscale klasik dan non-klasik, dan sirkulasi global. Bagian kimia atmosfer meliputi proses fotolitik dan fase gas, kimia air, proses aerosol, dasar-dasar siklus biogeokimia dan lapisan ozon. Radiasi matahari dan terestrial; penyerap utama; keseimbangan radiasi; keseimbangan radiasi; kesetimbangan radiasi-konvektif; dan dasar-dasar molekuler, aerosol dan adsorpsi dan hamburan awan dan penggunaannya dalam penginderaan jauh juga disajikan.
