Encyclopedia of Atmospheric Sciences, Third Edition offers comprehensive insights into the role of the atmosphere in weather, climate, and life. It covers all principal processes and phenomena, including intensive measurement and simulation techniques used to predict weather, project climate change, and assess human impacts on the atmospheric environment. The past decade has seen rapid advancements in the atmospheric sciences, necessitating the inclusion of several new topics in this updated edition. The book highlights key areas of progress such as anthropogenic climate change, high resolution numerical modeling, and the use of machine learning and AI in forecasting and climate simulation. It also covers advances in observational technologies and the study of planetary atmospheres, providing multimedia animations of weather phenomena and model simulations to enhance understanding. Geoengineering, as a controversial yet significant subject, is also addressed within the broader scope of climate change topics. With over 280 chapters written by world experts in the field, Encyclopedia of Atmospheric Sciences, 3rd edition once again provides students and researchers with a comprehensive, one stop reference work covering the entire field.
