Helps students and professionals to understand atmospheric phenomena in the context of various discoveries and technologies, and prepare themselves for more advanced study and real-life problem solving. This book contains chapters on atmospheric chemistry, the Earth system, climate, and the atmospheric boundary layer.
Professors Wallace and Hobbs are very prominent figures in the atmospheric science community, thanks to their 1977 textbook's reader-friendly approach for tackling complex, interdisciplinary problems within the atmospheric sciences and presenting the fundamental concepts that underlie them. This book serves as a cornerstone, providing students with an introductory context for atmospheric phenomena that are examined in more detail in more advanced courses.
