The Physics Of Atmospheres Third Edition
In the third edition of The Physics of Atmospheres, John Houhhton has revised his acclaimed textbook to bring it completely up-to-date. The Frist two edition received excellent reviews, and the new edition will again prove to be invaluable as s text for students of atmospheric science.

The Physics of Atmospheres provides a comprehensive and concise description of the physical processes governing the structure and the circulation of the atmosphere. Simple physical models are constructed by applying the principles of classical thermodynamic, radddiative transfer and fluid mechanics, togater with analytical and numerical technique. These models are applied to real planwtary atmospheres. In this new edition, chapters have been introduced on topics to strong contemporary interst such as chaos and atmospheric predicatability and climate change. The chapters on global observation (especilly though remote sensing) and numerical modeling have also been substantially extended, and all part of the have been updated.
Like its predecessors, this new edition will be an essential textbook for advance undergraduate courses in meteorology, atmospheric physics. Remote sensing, climate science, environmental science,   and   planetary science, Researchers and professionals in atmospherics and meteorology will also find it a state-of-the-art- review of their subject.
