Climatology: An Atmospheric Science 3rd Edition, by John J. Hidore, John E. Oliver, Mary Snow and Richard Snow offers a readily understandable account of the characteristics, causes, and effects of climate. Taking the study of atmospheric science beyond the daily weather map, this book explores the broader impacts of weather and climate.
The authors cover multiple facets of climate, many of which play a significant role in everyday life—and examine many topics, such as past climates, that are seldom adequately covered in other introductions to the subject. The science behind widely publicized events is explained within the systematic coverage of climate and climatology.
This text explains the science behind these widely publicized events within the systematic coverage of climate and climatology. In addition, readers will gain an appreciation of the impact climate has on life as well as the basic processes that operate in the atmosphere.
The relationships between climate and people are discussed in detail, and readers are shown how common things ranging from wind-chill to architecture are understood in the wider context of climate. In the Third Edition, data and information have been updated throughout and significant coverage is devoted to climate change.
