Bert Bolin

""The Atmosphere And The Sea In Motion: Scientific Contributions To The Rossby Memorial Volume"" is a book edited by Bert Bolin that pays tribute to the renowned meteorologist and oceanographer, Carl-Gustaf Rossby. The book features a collection of scientific papers written by leading experts in the fields of atmospheric and oceanic sciences, all of which explore various aspects of the dynamic interactions between the atmosphere and the sea.The papers in this volume cover a wide range of topics, including the dynamics of ocean currents, the role of the atmosphere in climate change, the impact of oceanic circulation on marine ecosystems, and the mathematical models used to study these complex systems. The contributors to this volume are all respected scholars in their respective fields, and their research represents some of the most cutting-edge work being done in atmospheric and oceanic sciences today.Overall, ""The Atmosphere And The Sea In Motion"" is an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding the complex interplay between the atmosphere and the sea, and the important role that these systems play in shaping our planet's climate and ecosystems.Additional Contributors Are George W. Platzman, Henry Stommel, Carl Gustav Rossby, T. Gergeron, H. R. Byers And Many Others.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

How did the global climate change issues emerge? The issue of human-induced global climate change became a major environmental concern during the twentieth century. In response to growing concern about human-induced global climate change, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was formed in 1988. Written by its first chairman, this book is an overview of the history of the IPCC. It describes and evaluates the intricate interplay between key factors in the science and politics of climate change, the strategy that has been followed, and the regretfully slow pace in getting to grips with the uncertainties that have prevented earlier action being taken. The book also highlights the emerging conflict between establishing a sustainable global energy system and preventing a serious change in global climate. This text provides researchers and policy makers with an insight into the history of the politics of climate change.

There is increasing scientific evidence to suggest that humans are gradually but certainly changing the Earth's climate. In an effort to prevent further damage to the fragile atmosphere, and with the belief that action is required now, the scientific community has been prolific in its dissemination of information on climate change. Inspired by the results of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's Second Assessment Report, Jepma and Munasinghe set out to create a concise, practical, and compelling approach to climate change issues. They deftly explain the implications of global warming, and the risks involved in attempting to mitigate climate change. They look at how and where to start action, and what organization is needed to be able to implement the changes. This book represents a much needed synopsis of climate change and its real impacts on society. It will be an essential text for climate change researchers, policy analysts, university students studying the environment, and anyone with an interest in climate change issues.
