Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE Beyond Global Warming by Syukuro Manabe, Anthony J. Broccoli A definitive account of how we have come to understand the fundamental processes behind global warmingSyukuro Manabe is perhaps the leading pioneer of modern climate modeling. Beyond Global Warming is his compelling firsthand account of how the scientific community came to understand the human causes of climate change, and how numerical models FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description A definitive account of how we have come to understand the fundamental processes behind global warmingSyukuro Manabe is perhaps the leading pioneer of modern climate modeling. Beyond Global Warming is his compelling firsthand account of how the scientific community came to understand the human causes of climate change, and how numerical models using the worlds most powerful computers have been instrumental to these vital discoveries.Joined by atmospheric scientist Anthony Broccoli, Manabe shows how climate models have been used as virtual laboratories for examining the complex planetary interactions of atmosphere, ocean, and land. Manabe and Broccoli use these studies as the basis for a broader discussion of human-induced global warming-and what the future may hold for a warming planet. They tell the stories of early trailblazers such as Svante Arrhenius, the legendary Swedish scientist who created the first climate model of Earth more than a century ago, and they provide rare insights into Manabes own groundbreaking work over the past five decades. Expertly walking readers through key breakthroughs, they explain why increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide has caused temperatures to rise in the troposphere yet fall in the stratosphere, why the warming of the planets surface differs by hemisphere, why drought is becoming more frequent in arid regions despite the global increase in precipitation, and much more.Authoritative and illuminating, Beyond Global Warming is an invaluable insiders look at some of todays most cutting-edge Earth science, and a rare window into a brilliant scientific mind. Author Biography Syukuro Manabe, winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics, is a pioneer in the use of computers to simulate global climate change. He is senior meteorologist in the Program in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at Princeton University. Anthony J. Broccoli is professor of environmental sciences at Rutgers University. Review "Syukuro Manabe, Winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics""Useful for those wishing to understand global warmings future impact."---Andrew Robinson, Nature"[Highly] engaging and well written."---S.C. Pryor, Choice"Useful and enlightening . . . . The knowledge derived from the model output is clear, detailed, and relevant to a better understanding of the climate system. The purpose of the book is to lead the reader down the path that Manabe and Broccoli have followed in their careers, showcasing the methods and motivation used in each study, and explaining and contextualising their findings. In each of these goals it succeeds admirably."---Eimear Dunne, Holocene Long Description A definitive account of how we have come to understand the fundamental processes behind global warmingSyukuro Manabe is perhaps the leading pioneer of modern climate modeling.
