Year: 2020 Language: english Author: Peter J. Webster Genre: Manual Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell ISBN: 9781118648438 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 510 Description: This manual presents a comprehensive view of the fundamental dynamical and thermodynamic principles underlying the large circulations of the coupled ocean-atmosphere system. It describes large-scale tropical circulation systems, measuring thousand kilometres on a timescale of days to weeks, and their interaction with sub-daily timescale systems. Topics covered include: the Hadley and Walker circulations, monsoon circulations, interactions between the tropics and extratropics, El Niño and the Southern Oscillation, equatorial waves, disturbances, precipitation distributions and the changing structure of the tropics under climate change. These macroscale circulations interact with a myriad of higher frequency systems, ranging from convective cloud systems to migrating equatorial waves. The structure of the book follows a graduated framework.
