Climatology in Cold Regions
Author: Chenghai Wang
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119702690
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
Climatology in Cold Regions A groundbreaking interdisciplinary study of cold-region weather systems and their vital role in predicting climate change across the globe Climatology in Cold Regions explores the complexities of land−atmospheric interaction across the Earth’s cryosphere, systematically placing soil thawing, snow melting, surface diabatic heating, and other processes within the context of broader climatological models. Drawing from a wealth of new data, leading atmospheric scientist Chenghai Wang illustrates how cold-region weather systems can be parameterized to improve seasonal climate prediction and provide crucial insights into projected changes in climate over the next 50-100 years. The book opens with an introduction to the characteristics and classification of cold-region climatology, followed by a detailed description of the primary weather systems and land surface processes in cold regions. The core of the book presents a new approach for seasonal climate prediction using signals obtained from cryospheric processes, supported by a discussion of climate disasters and the impact of climate change on the ecology of cold regions. Introduces a new way of modeling climate in cold regions Offers novel approaches for assessing climate signals from cold regions in seasonal and sub-seasonal predictions Presents new data on the role of cold-region climatology in forecasting and driving global temperature changes Discusses the role of cold regions as the main source of global freshwater supply A significant contribution to climate research and beyond, Climatology in Cold Regions is essential reading for students, scientists, and researchers in the atmospheric sciences, meteorology, ecology, hydrology, and Earth sciences.

Book Description
" ... as soon as one has traversed the greater part of the wild sea, one comes upon such a huge quantity of ice that nowhere in the whole world has the like been known." "This ice is of a wonderful nature. It lies at times quite still, as one would expect, with openings or large fjords in it; but sometimes its movement is so strong and rapid as to equal that of a ship running before the wind, and it drifts against the wind as often as with it." Kongespeilet - 1250 A.D. ("The Mirror of Kings") Modern societies require increasing amounts influence on the water mass and on the resulting of scientific information about the environment total environment of the region; therefore, cer tain of its characteristics will necessarily be in whieh they live and work. For the seas this information must describe the air above the sea, included.

Military Facilities and Environmental Stresses in Cold Regions
Author: R. P. Murrmann
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Military bases
Languages : en
Pages : 32
Book Description
The types of stresses imposed by military activities on the environment are not well known, nor is it possible in most cases to quantify or predict the impact of stresses on a long term basis. A research program is currently being formulated to correct this deficiency. The report was prepared as a preliminary step to identifying research problems which arise as a special consequence of military facilities in cold regions. The subjects discussed include: air pollution(Ice fog); Terrain impacts(Erosion); Permafrost; and Water pollution.

Landslides in Cold Regions in the Context of Climate Change
Author: Wei Shan
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3319008676
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
Landslides in cold regions have different mechanisms from those in other areas, and comparatively few research efforts have been made in this field. Recently, because of climate change, some new trends concerning landslide occurrence and motion have appeared, severely impacting economic development and communities. This book collects key case studies from the cold regions all over the world, providing an overview of the general situation.
