An Introduction to Atmospheric Physics David G. Andrews is an English-language textbook that offers an in-depth introduction to the physical principles of the atmosphere. This book is intended for undergraduate and graduate students who want to delve into atmospheric physics.
It treats the atmosphere in a quantitative way, with an emphasis on the underlying physical principles. This edition has been fully updated and includes a new chapter on the physics of climate change. This gives students a broad understanding of a current and important topic within the Earth sciences.
The book stands out for its focus on fundamental physics, where applications in the atmospheric sciences are primarily offered through assignments at the end of each chapter. This makes it a valuable learning resource for students in, among other fields, meteorology, Earth sciences, physics, and applied mathematics.
Practical student exercises with solutions are available online, making this textbook suitable for use in higher education and professional programs.
It is thematically aligned with topics such as Atmospheric physics, Meteorology & Climatology, and belongs to the category Science / Earth Sciences / Textbooks & Study Guides.
