The changing flow of energy through the climate system[electronic resource] /Kevin E. Trenberth. - Cambridge :Cambridge University Press,2022. - xvi, 319 p. :ill., digital ;26 cm.

Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 25 Feb 2022).

Earth and climate system -- Earth's energy imbalance and climate change -- Earth's energy balance -- The Sun-Earth system -- Observation of temperature, moisture, precipitation and radiation -- The climate system -- The weather machine -- The dynamic ocean -- Poleward heat transports by atmosphere and ocean -- The changing hydrological cycle -- Teleconnections and patterns of variability -- El niños -- Feedbacks and climate sensitivity -- Earth's energy imbalance estimates -- Attribution and the hiatus -- Prediction and projection -- Emissions and information -- Climate change and environmental issues.

Kevin E. Trenberth emphasizes the fundamental role of energy flows in the climate system and anthropogenic climate change. The distribution of heat, or more generally, energy, is the main determinant of weather patterns in the atmosphere and their impacts. The topics addressed cover many facets of climate and the climate crisis. These include the diurnal cycle; the seasons; energy differences between the continents and the oceans, the poles and the tropics; interannual variability such as Niño; natural decadal variability; and ice ages. Human-induced climate change rides on and interacts with all of these natural phenomena, and the result is an unevenly warming planet and changing weather extremes. The book emphasizes the need to not only slow or stop climate change, but also to better prepare for it and build resilience. Students, researchers, and professionals from a wide range of backgrounds will benefit from this deeper understanding of climate change.
