Revised edition of: Atmospheric thermodynamics / Craig F. Bohren, Bruce A. Albrecht. 1998.
Introduction: conservation of energy -- Ideal gas law: pressure and absolute temperature -- Specific heats and enthalpy: adiabatic processes -- Entropy --Water and its transformations -- Moist air and clouds -- Energy, momentum, and mass transfer.
Presenting a comprehensive treatment of thermodynamic processes operation in the atmosphere, the core of this text focuses on water and its transformations. Initial chapters lay the foundations, from energy conservation to the ideal gas law, specific heat capacities, adiabatic processes, and entropy. More than 400 thought-provoking problems are included.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 549-564) and index.
