Barry, R G; Chorley, R J

In this updated sixth edition the authors focus on the current concern of human impacts on the environment. The topics of greenhouse gases, the destruction of the ozone layer, carbon cycles, and the thermal role of oceans are covered in a revised chapter 1. The authors have intended this book to be a nontechnical account of the dynamics of the atmosphere and of the world climate system. The book presents a general understanding of weather phenomena and of global climates.
