Radiation and Climate
OUP Oxford 2007; US$ 72.99Radiation theory and measurements are at the core of the climate change debate. This new book describes in detail the basic physics used in the radiative transfer codes that are a key part of climate prediction models. The basic principles are extended to the atmospheres of the Earth and the other planets, illustrating the greenhouse effect and other... more...
Meer ohne Fische?
Campus Verlag 2007; US$ 18.33Hauptbeschreibung 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... more...
The Warming Papers
Wiley 2013; US$ 209.95Chosen for the 2011 ASLI Choice - Honorable Mention (History Category) for a compendium of the key scientific papers that undergird the global warming forecast. Global warming is arguably the defining scientific issue of modern times, but it is not widely appreciated that the foundations of our understanding were laid almost two centuries ago with... more...
Atmospheric Radiation
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... more...
Radiation in the Atmosphere
Cambridge University Press 2007; US$ 170.00Theory and applications of radiative transfer for graduate students and researchers in meteorology and related sciences. more...
Bringing the Sun Down to Earth
Springer 2008; US$ 84.99Bringing the Sun Down to Earth is intended for teachers, students, and anyone who wants to understand their environment. It provides a unique perspective to monitoring the role of the sun and Eartha (TM)s atmosphere in maintaining our planet as a place hospitable to advanced life as we understand it. The book first presents some science background... more...
Fundamentals of Atmospheric Radiation
Wiley 2006; US$ 120.00Meeting 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... more...
Solar and Infrared Radiation Measurements
Taylor & Francis 2012; US$ 119.95The rather specialized field of solar and infrared radiation measurement has become more and more important in the face of growing demands by the renewable energy and climate change research communities for data that are more accurate and have increased temporal and spatial resolution. Updating decades of acquired knowledge in the field, Solar and... more...
3D Radiative Transfer in Cloudy Atmospheres
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 99.99Assessing developments in three-dimensional cloud radiation, this volume treats two main application areas: the impact of clouds on the Earth's radiation budget, and remote observation of clouds. It is suitable for graduate students, researchers, and also for those interested in cloud-radiation processes in the solar and infrared spectral regions. more...
Modeling Solar Radiation at the Earth's Surface
Springer 2008; US$ 139.99Solar radiation data is important for a wide range of applications, e.g. in engineering, agriculture, health sector, and in many fields of the natural sciences. A few examples showing the diversity of applications may include: architecture and building design e.g. air conditioning and cooling systems; solar heating system design and use; solar power... more...
