Atmospheric thermodynamics : elementary physics and chemistry /
North, Gerald R.
Atmospheric thermodynamics : elementary physics and chemistry / Gerald R. North and Tatiana L. Erukhimova. - Cambridge, UK ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2009. - xi, 267 pages : illustrations ; 18 x 26 cm.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 263-264) and index.
Introductory concepts -- Gases -- The first law of thermodynamics -- Second law -- Air and vapour -- Profiles of the atmosphere -- Thermodynamic charts -- Thermochemistry -- The thermodynamic equation
his textbook presents a uniquely integrated approach in linking both physics and chemistry to the study of atmospheric thermodynamics. The book explains the classical laws of thermodynamics, focuses on various fluid systems, and, recognising the increasing importance of chemistry in the meteorological and climate sciences, devotes a chapter to chemical thermodynamics which includes an overview of photochemistry.
