It will give students a good grasp of what the atmosphere and oceans look like on the large-scale and why they look that way. The role of the oceans in climate and paleoclimate is also discussed. 410 0$aInternational Geophysics 606 $aAuroras$vBibliography 606 $aMeteorological optics$vBibliography 606 $aRadiation 606 $aAuroras 606 $aMeteorological optics 615 0$aAuroras 615 0$aMeteorological optics 615 0$aRadiation. 615 0$aAuroras. 615 0$aMeteorological optics. 676 $a538.768 676 $a538/.768 700 $aMarshall$b John$f1954-$0633624 701 $aPlumb$b R.
