For advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in
atmospheric, oceanic, and climate science, ATMOSPHERE, OCEAN AND
CLIMATE DYNAMICS is an introductory textbook on the circulations of
the atmosphere and ocean and their interaction, with an emphasis on
global scales. It will give students a good grasp of what the
atmosphere and oceans look like on the large-scale and why they look
that way. The role of the oceans in climate and paleoclimate is also
discussed. The combination of observations, theory and accompanying
illustrative laboratory experiments sets this text apart by making it
accessible to students with no prior training in meteorology or
oceanography.
