Produktinformationen zu „Introduction to the Physics of the Cryosphere (Second Edition) (ePub)“

This second edition defines different parts of the cryosphere including: permafrost, snow, land ice, sea ice, ocean, atmosphere and covers numerical modelling of thermodynamic exchanges: conservation of mass, energy, and momentum. It explores the physical basis behind phenomena such as formation of stone circles from melt-freeze processes, snow crystal formation and pressure-melting of glaciers. As an engaging course text for students, it discusses the contribution of melt to sea level rise and explains terms used commonly in the literature.

This book is intended for graduates with a numerical sciences background, particularly those who are heading towards postgraduate study or are generally interested in environmental physics.

Key Features

Explains basic physics underpinning research topics

Provides broad understanding of the fundamental cryospheric components

Demonstrates how remote sensing measurements are interpreted and used to monitor the cryosphere

Describes the importance of the cryosphere within the global ocean and its relationship with the climate

Explains observed phenomena supported by many photos, illustrations, links to other reading material and videos

Autoren-Porträt von Melody Sandells, Daniela Flocco

Melody Sandells studied Physics at Imperial College, London before undertaking her PhD at the University of Reading and postdoc at University College London. She is now an Associate Professor at Northumbria University and is one of the developers of the Snow Microwave Radiative Transfer model. Her research interests include earth observation of snow and soil moisture, snow physics, snow vegetation radiative interactions, microwave remote sensing and hydrology.

Daniela Flocco studied Environmental Sciences and a PhD at SPRI at the University of Cambridge. She carried out her post-doctoral research on sea ice thermodynamics at the Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling in London and then in Reading. She moved on to the National Centre for Atmospheric Science working on a project on sea ice predictability. She now works at the University of Naples Federico II on regional microclimates.
