Product Description
The past 20 years has witnessed unprecedented advances in climatology. Regional climates are more fully understood by relating them to distant atmospheric events through the study of teleconnections and synoptic climatology. Human responses to climate, at the individual, national and global levels, are explored from a science and social science perspective. Examination of recent events, from global warming to advances in satellite and radar climatology, provides keys to current understanding. Similarly, such articles as microclimatology and urban climates provide insights into the scales of climate.
