Elementary Climate Physics
"Taylor offers an elementary treatment of the composition and structure of the atmosphere and ocean and their planetary-scale behavior and evolution, as well as principles of new global measurement systems and theories underlying data analysis and the construction of numerical computer models. Chapter questions provide samples of what might be found in exams at the undergraduate, non-specialist level. The text is appropriate for undergraduates in the physical sciences and for graduate students and others requiring a quantitative introduction to the field." --SciTech Book News"Taylor...offers a well-written book about climate-related topics, focusing somewhat on global warming...The book...is suitable for anyone interested in climate of possible global warming."--CHOICE
