Science of weather, climate and ocean extremes (Elsevier Science Publishing Co Inc)

Science of Weather, Climate and Ocean Extremes presents an evidence-based view of the most important ways in which the build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is affecting both our atmosphere and the oceans, and provides compelling reasons why concerted action is required to slow the rate at which the atmosphere and oceans are changing. The book not only covers longer-term changes in extremes, and their causes, but also considers the drivers and attribution of extreme events, including relevant methods and techniques. Provides an evidence-based understanding of a significant risk to the future performance of the human and natural systems Includes assessments, advice and recommendations of extreme weather and climate events Features case studies from around the globe to provide further context to the research
