Atmospheric Radiationby R. M. Goody; Y. L. Yung
Oxford University Press 1995; US$ 105.00A complete revision of Goody's classic 1964 work, this volume offers a systematic discussion of atmospheric radiation processes that today are at the center of worldwide study and concern. It deals with the ways in which incident solar radiation is transformed into scattered and thermal radiation, and the thermodynamic consequences for the Earth's gaseous envelope, identifying aspects of the interaction between radiation and atmospheric motions as the central theme for atmospheric radiation studies. As a complete treatment of physical and mathematical foundations, the text assumes no prior knowledge of atmospheric physics. The theoretical discussion is systematic, and can therefore be applied with minor extension to any planetary atmosphere. more...

An Introduction to Atmospheric Radiationby K. N. Liou
Elsevier 2002; US$ 118.00This Second Edition of An Introduction to Atmospheric Radiation has been extensively revised to address the fundamental study and quantitative measurement of the interactions of solar and terrestrial radiation with molecules, aerosols, and cloud particles in planetary atmospheres. It contains 70% new material, much of it stemming from the investigation of the atmospheric greenhouse effects of external radiative perturbations in climate systems, and the development of methodologies for inferring atmospheric and surface parameters by means of remote sensing. Liou's comprehensive treatment of the fundamentals of atmospheric radiation was developed for students, academics, and researchers in atmospheric sciences, remote sensing, and climate modeling.... more...
Spectral Imaging of the Atmosphereby Gordon G. Shepherd
Elsevier 2002; US$ 123.00Optical instruments are routinely employed to obtain a wealth of information about the atmosphere, including its composition, temperature, and winds. A bewildering variety of optical instruments have been proposed over the years, making it difficult to decide which instrument should be chosen to make a specific measurement. Spectral Imaging of the Atmosphere traces the historical development of both spectral and imaging methods and places them in a unified framework relevant to observations of the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere and thermosphere. The underlying concepts of various measurement methodologies are presented and paired with appropriate applications. A selection of specific spectral imaging instruments, appropriate to illustrate... more...

Fundamentals of Atmospheric Radiationby Craig F. Bohren; Eugene Clothiaux
Wiley-VCH 2006; US$ 115.00Meeting the need for teaching material suitable for students of atmospheric science and courses on atmospheric radiation, this textbook covers the fundamentals of emission, absorption, and scattering of electromagnetic radiation from ultraviolet to infrared and beyond. Much of the contents applies to planetary atmosphere, with graded discussions providing a thorough treatment of subjects, including single scattering by particles at different levels of complexity. The discussion of the simple multiple scattering theory introduces concepts in more advanced theories, such that the more complicated two-stream theory allows readers to progress beyond the pile-of-plates theory. The authors are physicists teaching at the largest meteorology department... more...
Climate for Changeby Peter Newell
Cambridge University Press 2000; US$ 45.00Describes how non-state actors have shaped the international global warming debate, for researchers, policy-makers and students. more...
Meer ohne Fische?by Peter Cornelius Mayer-Tasch; Harald Bergbauer; Franz-Theo Gottwald; Franz Kohout; Bernd Malunat; Bernd Mayerhofer; Kurt-Peter Merk; Patrick Uwe Petit; Patrick Schwan
Campus Verlag 2007; US$ 18.22Hauptbeschreibung Um den riesigen Bedarf an Fisch als Nahrung zu decken, werden jedes Jahr 100 Millionen Tonnen an Fischen und Schalentieren dem Meer entrissen. Das hat fatale Folgen für die Zukunft des Meeres und der Menschheit. Es stehen nicht nur zahlreiche Fischarten kurz vor dem Aussterben. Gefährdet ist das maritime Leben insgesamt. Dieses Buch ist ein leidenschaftliches Plädoyer für den Erhalt des Meeres und seiner Bewohner. Vor dem Hintergrund der Jahrtausende alten Geschichte des Fischfangs beleuchten die Autoren die moderne weltweite Fischindustrie sowie die juristischen Regelungen, die den Fischfang normieren. Darüber hinaus porträtieren sie die Akteure, die sich im Kampf um den Fisch gegenüberstehen: Industrie- und Kleinfischer,... more...
