Springer Atmospheric Sciences,2194-52173-319-59595-4 Preface -- Chapter 1. Simple dynamic frameworks for tropical atmosphere and ocean -- Chapter 2. Role of air-sea interaction in shaping tropical mean climate -- Chapter 3. Madden-Julian oscillation -- Chapter 4. Tropical cyclone formation -- Chapter 5. Dynamics of El-Niño-southern oscillation -- Chapter 6. Monsoon dynamics and its interactions with ocean.This textbook introduces fundamental dynamics of tropical atmosphere and ocean useful for advanced graduate courses in atmospheric and climate sciences. It presents an overview of simple atmospheric and oceanic models, as well as the observed phenomena associated with major climate modes in the tropics. It provides students with an up-to-date understanding of the dynamics of tropical climate and weather phenomena. A particular focus is given to scale interactions and atmosphere-ocean interactions associated with tropical mean climate (such as ITCZ asymmetry and annual cycles), synoptic-scale variability (such as synoptic wave trains, easterly waves and tropical cyclones), intraseasonal oscillations (such as Madden-Julian Oscillation and boreal summer intraseasonal oscillation), and interannual variability (such as El Niño-Southern Oscillation and Indian Ocean Dipole). Theoretical and conceptual models are presented for better understanding of physical mechanisms behind the observational phenomena. This book aims to motivate graduate students in atmospheric sciences and oceanography by providing them with the key methods and tools necessary to conduct research.Springer Atmospheric Sciences,2194-5217Atmospheric scienceMeteorologyOceanographyAtmospheric Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G36000Meteorologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/312000Oceanographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G25005Atmospheric science.Meteorology.Oceanography.Atmospheric Sciences.Meteorology.Oceanography.551.6913Li Timauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1064233Hsu Pang-chiauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910299372003321Fundamentals of Tropical Climate Dynamics2537112UNINA03849oam 22005532a 450 991049586430332120250129221532.097805851642810585164282(CKB)111004366709686(MH)003965460-5(SSID)ssj0000210938(PQKBManifestationID)12056722(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000210938(PQKBWorkID)10292696(PQKB)10407622(EXLCZ)9911100436670968619921016d1994 ub 0engur|||||||||||txtccrA new world in a small place church and religion in the Diocese of Rieti, 1188-1378 /Robert BrentanoBerkeley University of California Pressc19941 online resource (xxiii, 452 p. )ill. ;"A Centennial book"--P.9780520080768 0520080769 Includes bibliographical references and index."Robert Brentano has unearthed a cache of previously ignored documents that sheds light on the precise character of the church, religion, and society, and how they changed over a period of two centuries in a small diocese in medieval Italy." "The focal point of the book is the diocese of Rieti in central Italy during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Here, in the 1960's, Brentano began his task of combing the essentially unused thirteenth-century archives - wills, litigation records, fiscal accounts - stored in a tower above the sacristy of the cathedral. What he discovered there provided new insight into the role of religion and the church in people's daily lives and a new morphology of "diocese."" "Emphasizing the importance of contingence, Brentano's approach to interpreting local history is unusual and stimulating. His method of presenting the many varieties of physical evidence allows the multiple perspectives of cleric, lay person, resident, and researcher to emerge. The documents speak for themselves, and the reader is made physically aware of the place and time and is able to hear the voices of the people of that place and time. Rather than a general revisionist thesis, this is an exercise aimed at learning a new way of looking at history though physical evidence, to see how a variety of things fit together and illuminate one another." "Brentano treats religion and society not as separate entities, or even as intricately interlocked, but as fully absorbed in each other. In this time and in this place, he shows, the spiritual and the corporal, the secular and the ecclesiastical, were united at various levels.""The final episode in Brentano's informal trilogy on religion and society in medieval Europe, A New World in a Small Place is characteristic of his work - imaginative, thorough, and especially telling in what it reveals about the process of historical inquiry. It has much to offer to historians, both general and specialized, to anyone interested in experiments in historical writing and the problems of writing local history, and to scholars and students concerned with the connection between literature and history."--Jacket.New world in a small placeA new world in a small placeChurch historyMiddle Ages, 600-1500Church historyMiddle Ages, 600-1500Rieti Region (Italy)Church historyChurch historyChurch history282/.45624/09022Brentano Robert1926-2002.167136Gardner Julian241617DLCDLCDLCBOOK9910495864303321A new world in a small place2862192UNINA
