Climate Dynamics is an advanced undergraduate-level textbook that provides an essential foundation in the physical understanding of the earth's climate system. The book assumes no background in atmospheric or ocean sciences and is appropriate for any science or engineering student who has completed two semesters of calculus and one semester of calculus-based physics. Describing the climate system based on observations of the mean climate state and its variability, the first section of the book introduces the vocabulary of the field, the dependent variables that characterize the climate system, and the typical approaches taken to display these variables. The second section ... Read more

Reviews for Climate Dynamics
"[Climate Dynamics] is an excellent basis for outlining an undergraduate climate dynamics course that can be taught in one term. It introduces and describes all processes and parts of the climate system that are necessary for its understanding."
