Global Energy and Water Cycles
Global Energy and Water Cycles by K. A. Browning, published by Cambridge University Press on March 15, 2007, is a comprehensive exploration of the Earth’s unique water systems. This 308-page book examines the fluxes and phase changes of water, which are crucial for understanding weather, climate, and life. It presents advancements in global models and observations, offering a detailed treatment of the interactions between the atmosphere, land, and ocean surfaces.
Readers will find an authoritative discussion that integrates insights from leading researchers in meteorology, hydrology, and oceanography. The book focuses on the dynamic processes that govern water movement and its implications for environmental science. By addressing the complexities of the Earth’s energy and water cycles, this edition serves as a valuable resource for those interested in the scientific underpinnings of hydrology and limnology.
Official synopsis Publisher
The abundance of water in all three phases makes the Earth unique in the Solar System. Knowledge of the fluxes and changes of phase of water is essential for an understanding of weather, climate, and life itself. This book provides a state-of-the-art treatment of advances in our understanding through improvements in global models, in the representation of the processes included in the models, and in related observations. It deals with fluxes within the atmosphere, at and beneath the land and ocean surface, and the interaction between them. In order to provide authoritative and coherent coverage of an area of environmental science that is developing rapidly, the book draws on the expertise of many of the world’s leading researchers across a wide range of meteorology, hydrology and oceanography.
