In the selected works of Yale Mintz, he & his colleagues analyze & treat crucial problems in large scale atmospheric & oceanic circulation. The simulation of meteorological processes, largely using general circulation models, was put on a sound physical basis. These studies contributed significantly to improving our understanding of the processes that govern our climate. The topics range from observation studies of atmospheric momentum fluxes to the influence of surface moisture on precipitation, & include studies of the atmospheres of Mars & Venus. Some of these works are not easily available because they date back to the early fifties. The book is of interest to students & researchers alike.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the leading international body for assessing the science related to climate change. It provides policymakers with regular assessments of the scientific basis of human-induced climate change, its impacts and future risks, and options for adaptation and mitigation. This IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate is the most comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of the observed and projected changes to the ocean and cryosphere and their associated impacts and risks, with a focus on resilience, risk management response options, and adaptation measures, considering both their potential and limitations. It brings together knowledge on physical and biogeochemical changes, the interplay with ecosystem changes, and the implications for human communities. It serves policymakers, decision makers, stakeholders, and all interested parties with unbiased, up-to-date, policy-relevant information. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
