  • Hurricane Climatology

    A Modern Statistical Guide Using R

    de James B. Elsner, Thomas H. Jagger ...
    Hurricanes are nature's most destructive storms and they are becoming more powerful as the globe warms. Hurricane Climatology explains how to analyze and model hurricane data to better understand and predict present and future hurricane activity. It uses the open-source and now widely used R software for statistical computing to create a tutorial-style manual for independent study, review, and ... Leer más

  • Hurricanes and Climate Change

    Volume 2

    Edición de James B. Elsner, Robert E. Hodges, Jill C. Malmstadt, Kelsey N. Scheitlin ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Hurricanes are nature’s most destructive agents. Widespread interest surrounds the possibility that they might get even more destructive in the future. Policy makers consider it a call for action. Answers about when and by how much hurricanes will change are sought by financial institutions especially industry. And scientists are challenged by the range and interactions of the processes involved. ... Leer más

  • Hurricanes and Climate Change

    Edición de James B. Elsner, Thomas H. Jagger ...
    Recent studies suggest that tropical cyclones are more powerful than in the past with the most dramatic increase in the North Atlantic. The increase is correlated with an increase in ocean temperature. A debate concerns the nature of these increases with some scientists attributing them to a natural climate fluctuation and others suggesting climate change related to anthropogenic increases in ...

  • Hurricanes of the North Atlantic

    Climate and Society

    de James B. Elsner, A. Birol Kara ...
    Called the greatest storms on the planet, hurricanes of the North Atlantic Ocean often cause tremendous social and economic upheaval in the United States, Mexico, and the Caribbean. And with the increasing development of coastal areas, the impact of these storms will likely increase. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of North Atlantic hurricanes and what they mean to society. It is ... Leer más

  • Climate and the Oceans

    de Geoffrey K. Vallis ...
    Series series Princeton Primers in Climate
    The oceans exert a vital moderating influence on the Earth's climate system. They provide inertia to the global climate, essentially acting as the pacemaker of climate variability and change, and they provide heat to high latitudes, keeping them habitable. Climate and the Oceans offers a short, self-contained introduction to the subject. This illustrated primer begins by briefly describing the ... Leer más

  • Towards a Model of Ocean Biogeochemical Processes

    Edición de Geoffrey T. Evans, Michael J.R. Fasham ...
    Key biogeochemical events in the ocean take place in less than a second, are studied in experiments lasting a few hours, and determine cycles that last over seasons or even years. Models of the controlling processes thus have to take into account these time scales. This book aims at achieving consensus among these controlling processes at all relevant time scales. It helps understand the global ... Leer más

    Topics in the Dynamics and Thermodynamics of the Fluid Earth

    de Fabio Cavallini, Fulvio Crisciani ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Large-scale winds and currents tend to balance Coriolis and pressure gradient forces. The time evolution of these winds and currents is the subject of the quasi-geostrophic theory.Chapter 1 presents concepts and equations of classical inertial fluid mechanics.Chapter 2 deals with the equations of thermodynamics that close the governing equations of the fluids. Then, the motion is reformulated in a ... Leer más

  • Polar Oceans from Space

    de Josefino Comiso ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Only a few centuries ago, we knew very little about our planet Earth. The Earth was considered flat by many although it was postulated by a few like Aristotle that it is spherical based on observations that included the study of lunar eclipses. Much later, Christopher Columbus successfully sailed to the West to discover the New World and Ferdinand Magellan’s ship circumnavigated the globe to prove ... Leer más
