Paperback. Condition: Fair. Many issues of contemporary importance in climate science can be explored using techniques from mathematics and statistics. This timely textbook introduces students and researchers to the conceptual models that capture important aspects of the Earth's climate system and the mathematical and statistical techniques that can be applied to their analysis. Topics covered include the Earth's energy balance, temperature distribution, ocean circulation patterns such as El Nino, and the carbon cycle. Among the mathematical and statistical techniques presented are dynamical systems and bifurcation theory, Fourier analysis, conservation laws, regression analysis, and extreme value theory. Each chapter ends with exercises, making this book ideal for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students in the mathematical sciences who are familiar with linear algebra, calculus, and basic statistics. It will also appeal to applied mathematicians and statisticians in academia, national laboratories, and public service organisations.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Winner of the Atmospheric Science Librarians International Choice Award as the best book of 2013, Mathematics and Climate emphasizes conceptual models that capture critical components of Earth's climate system and answers how and why certain phenomena happen. These models (energy balance-models and temperature distributions, ocean circulation patterns, ice caps and glaciation cycles, etc.) are used to introduce methods from applied mathematics, with emphasis on dynamical systems, bifurcation and stability theory, Fourier analysis, and statistics, including regression analysis and extreme value theory. Updated to reflect progress in the discipline, the Mathematics and Climate, Second Edition contains a layered atmosphere model for the greenhouse effect, a new chapter on a model for glacial cycles, and updated sections on paleoclimate reconstruction; includes exercises at the end of each chapter to stimulate critical thinking and communication skills; and provides suggestions for further study and more advanced projects, an extensive list of references, and a glossary of terms for the nontechnical reader. Exploring Earths climate through conceptual models and applied mathematics, the work employs dynamical systems, Fourier analysis, and statistics to unravel energy balances, ocean currents, glaciation cycles, and paleoclimate patterns. Engaging exercises prompt deeper critical insight. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …
