| Summary |
Presenting a comprehensive treatment of thermodynamic processes operation in the atmosphere, the core of this text focuses on water and its transformations. Initial chapters lay the foundations, from energy conservation to the ideal gas law, specific heat capacities, adiabatic processes, and entropy. More than 400 thought-provoking problems are included |
