This textbook presents a broad coverage of atmospheric physics. It is an introductory text for intermediate to advanced undergraduates on physics, meteorology or environmental science courses, but will also be useful for students of applied mathematics, physical chemistry and engineering who have an interest in the atmosphere.
An Introduction to Atmospheric Physics presents a broad coverage of atmospheric physics, including atmospheric thermodynamics, radiative transfer, atmospheric fluid dynamics and elementary atmospheric chemistry. Armed with an understanding of these topics, the interested student will be able to grasp the essential physics behind issues of current concern, such as the enhanced greenhouse effect and associated questions of climate change, and the Antarctic ozone hole and global ozone depletion, as well as more familiar processes such as the formation of raindrops and the development of weather systems. This book is intended as an introductory text for intermediate to advanced undergraduates studying atmospheric physics as part of physics, meteorology or environmental science courses. It will also be useful for graduate students studying atmospheric physics for the first time and for students of applied mathematics, physical chemistry and engineering who have an interest in the atmosphere.

Preface; 1. Introduction; 2. Atmospheric thermodynamics; 3. Atmospheric radiation; 4. Basic fluid dynamics; 5. Further atmospheric fluid dynamics; 6. Stratospheric chemistry; 7. Atmospheric remote sounding; 8. Atmospheric modelling; Appendices; Bibliography; Index.
