The book explains the classical laws of thermodynamics, focuses on various fluid systems, and, recognising the increasing importance of chemistry in the meteorological and climate sciences, devotes a chapter to chemical thermodynamics which includes an overview of photochemistry. Although students are expected to have some background knowledge of calculus, general chemistry and classical physics, the book provides set-aside refresher boxes as useful reminders. It contains over 100 diagrams and graphs to supplement the discussions, and a similar number of worked examples and exercises, with solutions included at the end of the book. It is ideal for a single-semester advanced course on atmospheric thermodynamics, and will prepare students for higher-level synoptic and dynamics courses.Atmospheric thermodynamicsPhysicsAtmospheric thermodynamics.Physics.551.522North Gerald R865437Erukhimova Tatiana L1761364MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813298603321Atmospheric thermodynamics4200780UNINA
