Atmospheric Science: Weather And Climate

Atmospheric science studies the Earth's atmosphere, its processes and the influence of other systems on the atmosphere and vice versa. The study of the weather and the climate is integral to the study of atmospheric science. Meteorology is concerned with weather forecasting and studies short-term weather systems that last up to a few weeks. Meteorological phenomena are quantified by atmospheric variables of air pressure, temperature, mass flow and water vapor. Climatology studies the periodicity of weather events occurring over years to millennia, and long-term weather patterns and changes. It studies climate at local, regional and global levels as well as human-induced or natural factors contributing to climate change. Some of the experimental instruments used in atmospheric sciences are rocketsondes, weather balloons, satellites, radiosondes and lasers. This book brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates the unexplored aspects of atmospheric science. The ever-growing need of advanced technology is the reason that has fueled the research in this field in recent times. Researchers and students in this field will be assisted by this book.
