Observations of Surface-to-Atmosphere Interactions in the Tropics

Observations of Surface-to-Atmosphere Interactions in the Tropics

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Called the firebox of the atmosphere, the tropics absorb more energy from the Sun than they lose through longwave emissions; this excess energy activates processes in the temperate and polar regions of the Earth. This book documents the historical evolution of concepts which describe the
complex interactions of scales of motion which connect the surface, mixed, and cloud layers to the deeper atmosphere of the tropics. Thermodynamic and kinematic consequences of these transfers of energy are extended to the geochemical and living worlds.

Book Info
Focuses on observations of surface-to-atmosphere exchanges in the tropics, which receives more direct solar energy than they lose through longwave emissions. DLC: Solar radiation--Tropics.
