| Résumé : |
Thermodynamics is a branch of science that studies how energy moves and changes within a system and its surroundings. In the context of the atmosphere, thermodynamics explains various phenomena, including the overall movement of air on a global scale and the transfer of heat between the Earth's surface and the atmosphere. It also explores the processes that create clouds and aerosols, as well as the exchange of different types of heat (such as radiation and warmth) between the surface and the air. Thermodynamics of the Atmosphere: Basic Physics and Applications to Earth’s Science book provides the physical basis for understanding the climate system: ideal gases, thermodynamics laws, the effects of gravity, the water in the atmosphere, cloud drops, mixtures, and thermal radiation. |
