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. 606 $aAtmospheric thermodynamics 606 $aPhysics 615 0$aAtmospheric thermodynamics. 615 0$aPhysics. 676 $a551.522 700 $aNorth$b Gerald R$0865437 701 $aErukhimova$b Tatiana L$01761364 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813298603321 996 $aAtmospheric thermodynamics$94200780 997 $aUNINA
