This second edition provides a completely up-to-date, scientifically rigorous yet highly accessible overview of Arctic climate science, for advanced students and researchers.

The Arctic Climate System

Peter D. Blanken

This book provides an up-to-date, comprehensive treatment of microclimate and local climate. It describes and explains the climate within the lower atmosphere and upper soil, the region critical to life on Earth. It is invaluable for advanced students and researchers in climatology, environmental science, geography, meteorology, agricultural science, and forestry.

Ronaldo Cataldo Costa

Este livro procura apresentar uma introdução dos processos atmosféricos e das condições climáticas, suas mudanças e variações, projeções e tendências futuras. Buscando mostrar os princípios químicos e físicos da atmosfera e descrições de climas regionais e suas mudanças, a obra tem o intuito de apresentar uma cobertura da meteorologia e da climatologia global. Esta edição visa trazer avanços da área e as ideias científicas em um texto que se pretende claro e com pouca matemática. Traz objetivos de aprendizagem na abertura dos capítulos, temas para discussão e quadros informativos sobre avanços significativos do século XX.

Atmosfera, Tempo e Clima

This book provides a comprehensive text describing and explaining mountain weather and climate processes. It presents the results of a broad range of studies drawn from across the world. The book is useful for specialist courses in climatology as well as for scientists in related disciplines.

Mountain Weather and Climate

Jack D. Ives

Originally published in 1974, Arctic and Alpine Environments examines, the relatively simple ecosystems of arctic and alpine lands that still occupy extensive areas little disturbed by modern technology. The book argues that there is a necessity for carefully controlled development of the resources of these regions and suggests that there is a risk of irreversible disturbance without full understanding of these regions. This book provides a detailed documentation of cold-stressed arctic and alpine terrestrial environments and systematically deals with the present and past physical environment – climate, hydrology and glaciology; biota – treeline, vegetation, vertebrate zoology, and historical biogeography; abiotic processes – geomorphological and pedological and the role of man – bioclimatology, archaeology and technological impact, including radioecology. The book will appeal to academics and students of environmental and biological science, as well as providing a significant source for conservationists’, government agencies and industrial organizations.

Arctic and Alpine Environments

The Arctic can be viewed as an integrated system, characterised by intimate couplings between its atmosphere, ocean and land, linked in turn to the larger global system. This comprehensive, up-to-date assessment begins with an outline of early Arctic exploration and the growth of modern research. Using an integrated systems approach, subsequent chapters examine the atmospheric heat budget and circulation, the surface energy budget, the hydrologic cycle and interactions between the ocean, atmosphere and sea ice cover. Reviews of recent directions in numerical modelling and the characteristics of past Arctic climates set the stage for detailed discussion of recent climate variability and trends, and projected future states. Throughout, satellite remote sensing data and results from recent major field programs are used to illustrate key processes. The Arctic Climate System provides a comprehensive and accessible overview of the subject for researchers and advanced students in a wide range of disciplines.
