  • Introduction to Geophysical Fluid Dynamics

    Physical and Numerical Aspects
    • 2nd Edition
    • Volume 101
    • Benoit Cushman-Roisin + 1 more
    • English
    Introduction to Geophysical Fluid Dynamics provides an introductory-level exploration of geophysical fluid dynamics (GFD), the principles governing air and water flows on large terrestrial scales. Physical principles are illustrated with the aid of the simplest existing models, and the computer methods are shown in juxtaposition with the equations to which they apply. It explores contemporary topics of climate dynamics and equatorial dynamics, including the Greenhouse Effect, global warming, and the El Nino Southern Oscillation.
  • Evidence-Based Climate Science

    Data Opposing CO2 Emissions as the Primary Source of Global Warming
    • 1st Edition
    • Don Easterbrook
    • English
    Global warming and human-induced climate change are perhaps the most important scientific issues of our time. These issues continue to be debated in the scientific community and in the media without true consensus about the role of greenhouse gas emissions as a contributing factor. Evidence-Based Climate Science: Data opposing CO2 emissions as the primary source of global warming objectively gathers and analyzes scientific data concerning patterns of past climate changes, influences of changes in ocean temperatures, the effect of solar variation on global climate, and the effect of CO2 on global climate to clearly and objectively present counter-global-warmi... evidence not embraced by proponents of CO2.
