Description for Stratosphere Troposphere Interactions: An Introduction
Hardcover. This textbook describes various physical, radiative, dynamical and chemical processes involved in the coupling between the Stratosphere and Troposphere. The information provided has broad applicability in other branches of atmospheric science. Num Pages: 436 pages, 8 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: RBP. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 243 x 164 x 30. Weight in Grams: 820.
Stratospheric processes play a signi?cant role in regulating the weather and c- mate of the Earth system. Solar radiation, which is the primary source of energy for the tropospheric weather systems, is absorbed by ozone when it passes through the stratosphere, thereby modulating the solar-forcing energy reaching into the t- posphere. The concentrations of the radiatively sensitive greenhouse gases present in the lower atmosphere, such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, and ozone, control the radiation balance of the atmosphere by the two-way interaction between the stratosphere and troposphere. The stratosphere is the transition region which interacts with the weather s- ... Read more
