Description
Atmosphere, Weather and Climate by Roger G. Barry and Richard J. Chorley is a foundational textbook providing a comprehensive, non-mathematical introduction to meteorology and climatology. It covers atmospheric processes, global weather patterns, and climate change, with the 9th edition (2009) updating content to reflect IPCC assessments.
Key aspects of the textbook include:
Core Topics: The book explains the physical and chemical principles of the atmosphere, energy balances, moisture, and circulation.
Structure: It covers both day-to-day weather systems (synoptic meteorology) and long-term regional climates.
Updates: Later editions include updated analyses of global warming, climate variability, and modern atmospheric modeling. The text is supported by numerous charts, graphs, illustrations and photographs.
Accessibility: Designed for students, it features learning points, diagrams, and clear, descriptive language.
Authors: Roger G. Barry was a professor at the University of Colorado (Director of the NSIDC), and Richard J. Chorley was a professor at the University of Cambridge.
The text is widely recognized as a standard introduction to the field for geography, environmental science, and agriculture students.
